- The Ukrainian military announced Monday that it has begun offensive operations in a number of locations close to the front line in the Kherson region in southern Ukraine, possibly indicating the start of a massive and eagerly awaited counteroffensive intended to retake land taken by Russia, the New York Times reported.
- Ukraine may experience its coldest winter in decades in the coming months, according to the head of the country’s state gas company Naftogaz, because the centralized heating infrastructure will turn on later in the season and be shut off sooner than usual, CNBC noted.
