Correction - Russians train their troops for winter offensives in Siberia. They are very aware of the success of such offensives (think 1812 Napoleon defeat, and the Germans with a similar Barbarossa 1941 defeat. Even Stalingrad (1942-1943) was fought over the winter and resulted in a bitter defeat for the Germans.
So, no, General Winter has not stopped Russians in the past, in fact, they can move vehicles across fields on the hardened ground.
NATO vehicles on the other hand, have been developed for offensives in the desert, against populations armed with small arms - so I suspect some LOLs in this respect - i.e. freezing machinery, oil not suited for extreme sub-zero temps, inadequate clothing for troops etc..
According to Ventusky, there is no impending cold wave over Ukraine, and even in central Russia it's only gonna be -20 at most. It's only past the Urals that things get really cold.
We are going into an ice age, won't be long now until russia starts invading warm climate countries in the next decade before they start freezing to death.
One of the targets in the Odessa region was the Usatovo energy substation northwest of Odessa. The air defense system was destroyed in the Aleksandrovka area.
As a result of explosions in Lviv, 90% of the city were left without electricity and water.

Russia is used to it. Much of their population lives south of where glaciers could exist.
