As Russia’s war in Ukraine continues into 2023, the weather will have an important impact. Ukrainians, of course, are more vulnerable than usual to power outages and energy shocks. But Russia’s forces will also confront new challenges as they deal with depleted supplies and low morale. Despite the many vulnerabilities winter weather brings to both Russia’s and Ukraine’s militaries, the fighting is not expected to freeze this winter.
