A 24-hour crisis headquarters has been set up in Ukraine due to expected severe winter conditions in the coming hours, Ukrinform writes.
Cold weather and precipitation are expected in almost the entire country, which will complicate the situation.
A warning has been issued for the Odessa region - an orange code for strong winds, precipitation and icing. For the regions of Mykolaiv, Poltava, Cherkasy and Sumy, the forecast is for heavy rain and snow, as well as strong winds.
After yesterday's shelling by the Russian side against energy infrastructure in the Odessa region, the authorities are concerned that many people will be left without light and heat as the weather worsens. Additional points will be set up in the city where people can warm up and charge their phones.
The authorities are warning people not to travel unless necessary. But if they need to, they can count on help from the crisis headquarters, the publication adds.
Russia tried to create its own analogue of Elon Musk's Starlink satellite system, but failed, 24tv.ua writes, citing data from the GRU of Ukraine.
The system that the Russian troops tried to build turned out to be unstable and failed to replace the loss of satellite internet from Starlink.
This led to a loss of coordination between individual army units and difficulties with managing troops on the battlefield. The problems with the new system were signal interruptions, unstable data transmission and frequent technical failures.
The Russian army was cut off from Starlink after it became clear that it was using the system on drones that attacked civilians. This led to a decrease in the effectiveness of troops on the battlefield and complicated combat operations, the GRU commented.
The Russian army has adopted a new tactic in its massive air strikes against Ukraine.
Military experts have analyzed video footage and found that the widely used "Shahedi" are carrying smaller attack drones, writes UNIAN.
Sergey (Flash) Bezkrestnikov, an adviser to the Ukrainian Minister of Defense, claims that the Ukrainian army had long suspected that the enemy could use such tactics. Drones of the "Lightning" and "Gerbera" modifications taken down had special mounts for smaller devices.
Bezkrestnikov claims that two additional drones can be attached to one "Shahed". Thus, at a certain moment, the attacking machines cover a larger perimeter and inflict greater damage.
