From severe frosts to above-zero temperatures: what will the weather be like in Ukraine on February 17?

This was reported by weather forecaster Natalia Didenko .

According to her, weather conditions remain changeable: after thaws and fog, a cyclone with snowfalls and blizzards swept across the country, followed by frosts. The cold snap will intensify in the coming days, but a southern cyclone from the Balkans will soon arrive in Ukraine again, bringing further snowfalls, blizzards, and strong winds.
