The Russian invaders will have a very difficult time in winter in Ukraine, much like the Soviet

army did during the invasion of Finland in 1939. Back then, the bodies of Red Army soldiers were

lying in the snow, soldiers were freezing in the trenches, and tank engines were stalling.

There could be outbreaks of disease in the ranks of the Russian Armed Forces because Russian

positions are completely disorganized, dirty, and living among the garbage they themselves generate.

Winter temperatures in Ukraine can drop to -24 °F, the average temperature is

-18 °F, and up to half a meter of precipitation can fall during the day.

Winter in Ukraine is much milder compared to some regions of Russia, but still,

for ill-equipped, inadequately trained soldiers, winter warfare can be quite harsh.

In cold conditions, not only do you move slower,

you think slower, and the likelihood of units scattering and fleeing increases.

Although the Ukrainians face the same weather conditions,

the Ukrainian Armed Forces appear better equipped and more motivated

than the Russian Army, where many have only recently been mobilized.

The coming winter could be the darkest period of the war for Putin and his army.

In addition to the Ukrainian army, Russian troops, who lack winter clothing, will also have to fight

the environment. It is not only about the cold, but also about potentially possible

illnesses among the Russian military. A parallel can be drawn with the Crimean War, during which,

according to historians, there were four times as many deaths from illness than from wounds.

The Russian command simply wants to trade "bodies for time" and test the

West's resolve in their support of the Ukrainians, and prolong the war.

Added to all the difficulties will be the freezing weather,

which will make Russia's unleashed war an exercise in survival.

Russian recruits will arrive at the front ill-equipped and without quality winter

clothing. They will find themselves in trenches flooded with icy water.

It is one thing when you win, but if you lose, the psychological effect will be terrible.
