According to Ukrainian scientists, warmer winters and cooler summers will become a reality for Ukraine over the next ten years. As a result of warming, record positive temperatures and a complete absence of snow are currently being observed.\n\nThe fact that frosty and snowy winters in Ukraine may become a memory of the past century is evidenced by scientists' observations of temperature over the past five years. Although forecasters predict both cold snaps and snow this year, overall the Ukrainian winter will be milder.\n\nHead of the Climate and Forecasts Department of the Research Hydrometeorological Institute, Professor Vazira Martazinova said that significant problems will arise in the agricultural sector: "Plants, you see, they don't know how to rest now in winter: whether to rest or to wake up, and when to wake up. New varieties need to be grown. By the way, the Myronivka Wheat Institute is currently doing such work."\n\nHead of the laboratory of the Institute of Agriculture of the Academy of Agrarian Sciences of Ukraine, Candidate of Sciences Ivan Svydyniuk believes that under such conditions practically all weeds that could have frozen out will survive the winter. In addition, according to him, the greatest concern at present is the growth in numbers and harmfulness of mouse-like rodents, of which there are already quite many and whose numbers will increase.\n\nAt the same time, in order to preserve the harvest, scientists propose using fertilizers and means of combating pests and diseases according to a different scheme, as these were among the first in the country to feel the consequences of global warming.
