As of November 2023, Ukraine is facing not only the immediate impact of conflict but also the ensuing challenges as the country entered the winter months. The situation has brought to the forefront issues related to heating, housing, winter-related needs and the ability to withstand the harsh winter conditions.

This brief presents insights into winterization preparedness, encompassing aspects such as access to heating, the adequacy of housing for winter conditions, and the specific winter-related needs of the population. These findings come from the General Population Survey (GPS), the Solid Fuel Assessment (SFA) and the Mobility and Needs Assessment (MaNA). The aim is to guide the humanitarian response stakeholders in formulating and implementing targeted winterization strategies.
