The coldest winter for Ukraine in recent decades; shelling of temporarily occupied Enerhodar: last night's highlights

Ukrainians are likely to face the coldest winter in recent decades; Russian forces shelled the temporarily occupied Enerhodar in Zaporizhzhia Oblast and carry out "reconstruction" of the destroyed Drama Theater in Mariupol to hide the war crimes. Here's what you could miss from the previous night.

In the temporarily occupied Mariupol, the Russians urgently carry out "reconstruction" of the destroyed Drama Theater in order to hide all traces and evidence of their crime, said Petro Andryushchenko, adviser to the mayor of Mariupol.

On March 16, the Russian forces dropped an aerial bomb on the Drama Theater in Mariupol, where hundreds of locals were hiding and waiting for evacuation from the city.

 Later, the occupiers announced that they had finished dismantling the debris of the theater, which made the calculation of the exact number of victims impossible. The Mariupol authorities reported that the estimated number of dead is 300, but in the Associated Press investigation reported about 600 dead.

Ukrainians are likely to face the coldest winter in recent decades, and the indoor temperature will be lowered to 17-18°C, which is about four degrees below the norm, warns Yurii Vitrenko, CEO of Naftogaz Ukraine. The heating season in Ukraine is planned to start later and end earlier.

Russian forces shelled the temporarily occupied Enerhodar in Zaporizhzhia Oblast on Sunday night, hitting an apartment in a residential building. Ten people received sharpnel wounds, two of them were hospitalized.

"Russian terrorists fired at Energodar. They provoke and try to blackmail the world. They are shelling Nikopol, Marganets and simulating a "response" to Energodar, although they are firing on their own," said Andrii Yermak, head of the President's Office.

Russian forces shelled Kharkiv with cluster munition on Monday morning, injuring a 77-year-old and damaging a residential building, reports the Kharkiv mayor. Nikopolskyi, Synelnykivskyi, and Kryvorizky districts of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast were shelled again after the attack on Sunday evening, says the Head of Civil-Military Administration Valentyn Reznichenko. The number of people injured due to the evening shelling of Nikopol increased to five.

President Volodymyr Zelensky dismissed Yaroslav Spodar from the post of deputy commander of the National Guard of Ukraine. Spodar was appointed deputy commander of the National Guard on May 24, 2014. In March 2015, he was given the rank of major general, and in October 2017, he was promoted to lieutenant general.
