Stay or leave? Ukrainians face a hard choice ahead of what could be the war’s toughest winter

Winter weather makes roads dangerous, increases the risk of power loss, and can cause cold-related injury during outages. Stranded vehicles are a common hazard.

This report is based on information from AP News, monitored by Alert USA's verified emergency feed.

Expect a high chance of travel disruptions, elevated power-outage risk, and heating stress during any extended loss of service.

Recommended steps: avoid non-essential travel; keep heat sources clear and ventilated; have blankets and a way to charge a phone; check on family and neighbors.

Alert USA is tracking this winter storm and will update this report as verified information becomes available.
