Experts say that the icy conditions could present Ukraine with an opportunity to attack, but as frozen soldiers in trenches battle over inches of territory, Vladimir Putin still thinks he can win the war and hopes a winter slowdown will give his forces a chance to regroup while bombarding Ukrainian positions with artillery.
Putin is also targeting Ukraine’s energy infrastructure with waves of cruise missiles and drones to freeze the population into submission and put pressure on Ukraine’s western backers.
So, will the winter swing the war in Russia’s favour or can Ukraine use the coming freeze to launch another counter offensive and push Russian forces back again?
Produced by Ian Watkins, Calum Fraser, Kieron Bryan and Matthew Lucas.
