The upcoming winter in Ukraine promises to be the most difficult since independence. The state is doing everything possible to make this period as good as possible for the population. Nevertheless, the situation is still unpredictable and now it is impossible to say whether the heating season will pass without provocations by the Russian military. In this article, you will learn about what you should prepare today in order to overwinter this period with maximum comfort.

Groceries

The best investment for the coming winter today is conservation! A jar of cucumbers or tomatoes is guaranteed to save you during possible interruptions in energy and heat supply. Make sure that there are always canned goods, cereals, and snacks at home. You should not clog the cell with food, one or two spare packs of products "just in case" are enough. It should be understood that the situation at the front is difficult, but under control. The beginning of the war showed that significant problems with food will not arise in most of the territory of Ukraine, so there is no need to panic.

Also, you should have a supply of drinking water. This is especially important for people living in areas under regular enemy fire.

Do not forget about pets. Take care of food for them too (but remember the "spare pack" rule).

Clothes and heating devices

Make sure you have an electric heater in your home. In case of problems with heating, it will warm you and maintain acceptable temperature. Keep in mind that small stove is rather dangerous option that requires constant supervision. If there is such an opportunity, it is better not to expose yourself to danger, but to use electrical appliances.

Also, check your warm blankets. The temperature in homes this year will not exceed 19 degrees Celsius, so home clothes should also keep warm. Choose natural materials, because synthetic clothes warm worse. Thermal clothes, thermoses and scarves may be needed when walking outside.

First aid kit

Be sure to have antiviral medications, throat lozenges, and nasal sprays at home. If you have young children, consult your pediatrician about seasonal cold and fever medications for little ones. Other categories of medicines will also come in handy: painkillers, antihistamines medicines, cardiac, stomach medicines, etc.

The most important thing is not to panic. The Armed Forces of Ukraine are doing everything to ensure that this winter passes as good as possible for us and without negative consequences.
