Visitors walk in the main greenhouse of the Gryshko National Botanical Garden of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine in Kyiv on February 11, 2026, amid the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Roman Ivannikov has spent around 30 years pampering orchids, azaleas and figs at Ukraine's National Botanical Garden but power cuts triggered by Russian strikes have put his cherished plants in mortal danger. The almost-daily barrages paired with the cold snap have put lives at risk and created an unprecedented threat for Ivannikov's pride and joy: a collection of almost 4,000 tropical species.

A worker checks a plant in the main greenhouse of the Gryshko National Botanical Garden of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine in Kyiv on February 11, 2026, amid the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion in 2022, Moscow has systematically targeted Ukraine's energy infrastructure. And this year, as the country experiences a particularly cold winter, massive and repeated bombardments have deprived hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians of electricity and heating. One of the collateral damages of these power cuts is the precious collection of some 4,000 tropical species housed in the Botanical Garden's greenhouses. (Photo by Genya SAVILOV / AFP)
