How Long Would Society Last During a Total Grid Collapse?

I have a friend whose mom lived in zaporozhya until 2 weeks ago, and the rolling blackouts were the reason she finally fled the city, despite months of explosions. The blackouts were getting more severe, and when you live on the 11th floor with no elevator, no water, no heating, no way to warm food, life is very difficult.

For sure it depends on the circumstances. Being on an 11th floor of an apartment building would be difficult. I wouldn't want to live there because although it is apparently still there, I'd be afraid it would be a massive target for artillary.

So in places like that, sure, you'd want to move out. And hopefully other Ukrainians are taking people like her into their own homes, because otherwise, what would one do if they have nowhere else to go?
