The Associated Press has published a powerful photo essay capturing the daily reality of Ukraine's energy workers, including many from DTEK, who continue their essential work as russia targets the country's power system.
For nearly four years of the full-scale invasion, these men and women have faced extraordinary challenges. They repair lines, rebuild substations and restart units struck by missiles and drones, often working in bitter cold, in the dark or under the threat of renewed attacks. Their job is to keep electricity, heating and a sense of hope alive for millions of people.
AP spoke to several workers about how their roles have transformed since February 2022, and what it means to carry on despite the risks. At least 160 energy workers have been killed and more than 300 wounded, yet tens of thousands still report for duty every day.
Below are the portraits and stories from the photo essay. It’s a tribute to the resilience, commitment and quiet heroism of those working to keep Ukraine out of the dark.

Our businesses generate electricity at wind, solar and thermal power plants; distribute and supply power to end consumers; extract natural gas and coal; trade energy resources on Ukrainian and foreign markets; and provide domestic and commercial energy services.
Over the last 20 years, DTEK has grown into a national energy leader and is today transforming into a pan-European clean energy business.
Since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, DTEK Group has restored power to millions of consumers across regions affected by hostilities.
