Heavy snow slows fighting in Ukraine

The dramatic onset of winter in Ukraine has already claimed numerous lives and completely paralyzed parts of the country. The heavy snowfall is also slowing down fighting along the front line.

Russian military bloggers loudly pointed out that heavy snow and wind reduced visibility and complicated aerial reconnaissance and artillery corrections in the Kherson direction. However, the Ukrainian armed forces took advantage of the poor visibility to consolidate their positions on the eastern bank of the Dnieper River. The difficult winter conditions are forcing both sides to rely more on ground attacks in the absence of aerial reconnaissance, it said.

Disillusionment in Ukraine

Meanwhile, a general disillusionment is gradually spreading in Ukraine after almost two years of war. Not just because Russia has more drones, more artillery shells and more soldiers. The country is still waiting for the generously promised arms deliveries from the West. There are also management problems and corruption. Capable soldiers are missing and many units are fighting non-stop and are now at the end of their strength. The fact that the Gaza war is now dominating international headlines makes the situation even more difficult.

It emerged yesterday that the wife of Ukrainian military intelligence chief Kyrylo Budanov was allegedly poisoned. Military intelligence spokesman Andriy Yusov confirmed that she was admitted to hospital after several days of nausea. Accordingly, the woman was poisoned with heavy metals, which are unusual in everyday life. Investigations into attempted murder have been started.
