Having lived in the country in the woods for 40 years, not having electricity can be dealt with.
Not having water is impossible.
Of course, usually water cannot be had w/o electricity.....
“”Having lived in the country in the woods for 40 years, not having electricity can be dealt with.””
A cabin in the woods is made for and equipped to replace electric appliances and equipment so that one can live normally, when the lights go out in your apartment in the city, one doesn’t have all of that and can’t get it or install it in their homes and apartments and they have no plumbing.
Rural people in Ukraine probably have the wood stoves/cook stoves and lamps they need and the plumbing capabilities they need, even if it means just having the land for an outhouse and garbage disposal.
