Ukraine is still under russian rocket attacks and that's why every Ukrainian knows what Blackout is for a few days.
And you know? The world is still "just worried" without any direct reactions to russia - because it is a terrorist state.
Initially, panic would ensue as people rely heavily on electricity daily
Generator sales and rentals would skyrocket
