In January, Ukraine experienced severe frosts, with temperatures ranging from minus 18 to minus 32 degrees Celsius. Despite the extreme cold, winter crops such as wheat, rye, barley, and canola were not significantly damaged due to the snow cover insulating the crops. However, local damage to winter barley, rapeseed, and wheat is possible in areas with insufficient snow cover, particularly in Kherson and Odesa oblasts. The frosts could also damage the buds of fruit and grapes in areas where the temperature was maintained for over three days, except in the Transcarpathian and Chernivtsi regions.
