MAKARIV, UKRAINE - JANUARY 6, 2023: Oksana Kovtun, 49, prepares a traditional family meal by a mix of battery-powered and candle light due to rolling blackouts on Orthodox Christmas Eve while talking on the phone with her son Mykhailo Kovtun, 22, a Ukrainian soldier deployed to eastern Ukraine, on Friday, January 6, 2023 in Makariv, Ukraine. The Kovtuns' house was completely destroyed by shelling when their town was partially occupied by Russian troops on March 16 of last year, and they have since moved into a modular home that was placed on their property.
