Employees of the Municipal Enterprise "ELU Avtodirig" went on duty. Combination spreaders and loaders are also ready to treat the streets with anti-icing reagents.

The mayor of Mykolaiv noted that there is a list of roads agreed with the police, where the formation of traffic jams due to bad weather is most likely. Utility workers will pay increased attention to them.

"111 units of special equipment are fighting the consequences of bad weather in the region. They are clearing snow on local and state roads. They are treating them with anti-icing materials. The roads are passable. However, there are sections where traffic is difficult. The work continues", reported on the situation in Dnipropetrovsk region Serhiy Lysak, the head of the local RMA, on social networks.

In Kherson region, the RMA warned about the deterioration of weather conditions.
