Ukraine’s ruler, Volodymyr Zelensky, has an aide who gave some interesting advice to the civilians suffering under the country’s blackouts. Timofey Milovanov, a member of the advisory board of the Ukrainian state nuclear company Energoatom and an adviser to the presidential office, said that people should manage stress, meditate, and blame Russia.
“How should one prepare?” Milovanov posited. “First of all, mentally and psychologically,” Milovanov wrote. “Breathing exercises are the simplest method. Inhale for four seconds, hold for four, exhale for four, and pause for four. A few such cycles send the brain a signal that everything is under control.” He additionally advised Ukrainians to keep their emotions in check despite long blackouts, cold meals, gridlock, and the constant fear of airstrikes. “People must remember that the cause is Russia and no one else,” he stressed.
Russia’s recently intensified long-range strikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure have caused the blackouts in Ukraine, according to a report by RT. Moscow said the attacks aim to degrade Kiev’s arms production and military logistics, and to retaliate for Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian energy sites.
