This is the place for discussing the potential collapse of modern civilization and the environment.
Collapse, in this context, refers to the significant loss of an established level or complexity towards a much simpler state. It can occur differently within many areas, orderly or chaotically, and be willing or unwilling. It does not necessarily imply human extinction or a singular, global event. Although, the longer the duration, the more it resembles a ‘decline’ instead of collapse.

Well, mobile internet is still up but tap water pressure is now down to just a bit more than a trickle.
Hey, Ukrainian here. You'll be fine.
In the last place I lived, even the sewer lifting pumps also ran on electric and there was no backup. So once certain tanks and cisterns filled up and the pumps didn't kick on, the system quit working. The fresh water tanks would keep fresh water pressure for 2-3 days (gravity fed) but could not recharge/refill without power. The whole system only worked if there was reliable electrical supply .
In that location every cell tower ran on its own backup gas generator, so after a handful of hours the gas supply would run out and each tower would also fall off until a technician could get fuel delivered.
