Despite attempts to put an end to the ukrainian warthe reality is that the armed conflict heading towards a new winter in which the cold will become a key element in the contest.
In that sense, Yevhen Dykyi, former company commander of the Aida Battalionr (one of the units of the Ukrainian Ground Forces), has predicted that during the winter season The war will be more tangible, colder and darker than ever.
However, as reported by the Ukrainian media Dykyi himself has recognized that these greater difficulties for the Russian side They do not mean that the winter will be easy for Ukraine.
One of the main differences compared to last winter is that now Ukraine is reaching parity with Russia in the field of drones and could soon even surpass the country presided over by Vladimir Putin in terms of the number and effectiveness of unmanned vehicles.
Added to this is the fact that, according to Yevhen Dykyi, the Ukrainian forces have managed to successfully attack some Russian companies dedicated to the assembly of drones. However, it should be noted that Moscow has a large number of such facilities.
For these reasons, the former company commander of the Aidar Battalion has assured that “This winter will be colder and darker in Russia than for us. But that doesn’t mean it’s going to be easy for us.”
In that sense, Dykyi has warned that this winter in Russia could be very different from previous ones. The reason is that, for the first time, Russian citizens could suffer in first person the consequences of the war in Ukraine having problems with power supply (and, consequently, with the much-needed heating systems). “Russians will have to shelter themselves with love for their leader”the former Ukrainian commander has stressed.
