Kiev prepares for a dark winter: city stores food and water for prolonged blackouts

SAPO Notícias7 September 2026 at 13:43

The city of Kiev is preparing to face a particularly difficult winter, anticipating the possibility of prolonged blackouts in the energy system. The local authorities are storing food and drinking water as a precautionary measure to ensure the basic supply of the population during possible power outages.

The priority of the authorities will be to support low-income residents and people in particularly vulnerable situations. These population groups will be the main beneficiaries of any assistance program that may be implemented if the energy situation becomes complicated.

The context of this preparation is related to the problems that the city's energy system may face during the winter season. The possibility of abnormal city functioning is leading authorities to take preventive measures to minimize the impact on the most needy population.

Reflecting on the Foral of Goa

Historian Valentino Viegas presents a reflection on the Foral of Goa, a document granted by King D. João III on September 16, 1526, whose quincentenary will be celebrated in 2026. The article analyses the controversial designation of the document (Foral of Goa versus Foral of Mexia), its importance as a historical milestone that established Goa's direct dependence on the Portuguese monarch, and the political and social structure it regulated, including the role of the gaocares (community leaders), the communal property regime of the villages, and the village, island, and general councils. Viegas also traces Goa's history from ancient times to its conquest by Afonso de Albuquerque in 1510, highlighting that Goa was an independent kingdom before Portuguese domination.
