Kyiv residents, enduring a lack of heating and power in their homes, gathered on a frozen stretch of river for an outdoor party yesterday, circling a DJ and dancing on the ice, as reported by Reuters in an X post between 10:15:36 AM and 10:45:34 AM UTC on February 2, 2026. Around 3,000 people attended the event. The gathering occurred a day earlier in Kyiv, where Ukrainians turned frozen rivers into venues for car drifting due to ongoing power shortages, according to the Reuters post published during this 29-minute reporting window. No additional details on the exact location of the river or the duration of the power outages were provided in the source. The event highlights civilian adaptations to infrastructure challenges amid the conflict.
