Citizens, e.g. in the village of Spartak, near Donetsk, are in despair, as can be seen in this sad video. Out of 5000 residents, less than 400 remain. There has been no electricity, gas or running water for five months as shelling continues...
Until now the weather in Ukraine this autumn has been warm, but a check on the weather forecast shows that by the weekend daytime temperature in Donetsk will drop to low single digit figures centigrade, whilst -4 and -5 centigrade is expected at night.
The coming of frosts will probably attenuate the intensity of armed conflict as fighters expend more effort to survive the cold...a small blessing
