Harsh winter conditions with strong winds and poor visibility hamper tactical aviation and can destroy drones, but have less impact on cruise missiles, said Yuriy Ihnat, spokesman for the Ukrainian Air Force.
The bad weather resulted in snow drifts of up to 1. 5 meters in some places and hampered traffic in Odesa, Mykolaiv and other regions of Ukraine, with some roads closed. Mustafa Nayem, head of the State Agency for Reconstruction, said that strong winds were hampering road clearing, even though crews were working in an intensified mode
The bad weather led to the closure of many roads in Mykolaiv region, including the main highways M-13, H-24 and M-14; rescue services provided assistance to 104 people stranded off-road.
Due to severe weather conditions in Mykolaiv region, traffic on several highways, including M-13, H-24, R-75, R-75 and several T-15 highways, has been banned, as reported by the head of the region, Vitaliy Kim.
Explosions heard in Mykolaiv are the work of the Ukrainian military, officials assure that the city is not in danger.
A former police officer was detained for spying for Russia and passing information about Ukrainian forces in Mykolaiv and Odesa regions, including with the help of pro-Kremlin blogger Serhiy Lebedev.
There are no grounds for scheduling power outages in Ukraine, and the electricity generated is sufficient to cover the needs. However, hundreds of settlements remain without power due to the fighting and other reasons
Over the past day, Russian troops repeatedly fired artillery at the waters of the Ochakiv community in Mykolaiv region.
