Already on Wednesday, the temperature will rise to +6–7°C, and by Saturday, in the middle of the day, the air will warm up to +14°C, Tishkovets added.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, Tishkovets also warned that today, March 14, a nine-point storm is expected in Moscow.

Svetlana with her daughter at a temporary accommodation centre
Svetlana Aleksandrovna and her family did not have time to leave Sudzha because of their eldest 24-year-old son. The guy had a work shift from August 6 to August 7 last year. On the morning of August 6, when the invasion began, the family woke up from a terrible roar - a HIMARS flew into their street, and their house on the outskirts of Sudzha jumped from the blast wave.
“My husband said: ‘That’s it, the offensive has begun,’” recalls Svetlana Alexandrovna.
When the eldest son returned home, it was already impossible to leave. In front of Svetlana and her children, a Ukrainian drone blew up the car in which a family - husband, wife, and child - was trying to leave. All three died.
“The only thing left to do was to hide,” Svetlana states.
Over the course of seven months, Ukrainian soldiers came to the family’s home many times, looking for Russian servicemen and robbing abandoned neighboring houses.
"To put it bluntly, they looted. They took everything: gold, household appliances, cars... We fought to get our car back so many times... Once they almost shot us for it," says Svetlana.
The most terrible moment was when the VSSU officers, whom the Belobrovs had already seen before, came drunk and started threatening.
"At first they all came in uniform, and then we got used to the fact that they were here for two weeks and then they left, they had a rotation. And they came in civilian clothes - like... maybe stoned, maybe shot up, I don't know. And there was a time when [they told us], you're going to go dig trenches now, children - for organs, women - there... That happened. And, of course, it was scary," Svetlana recalls with horror.
There was no connection with the outside world during this time: it was immediately cut off by the occupiers. But they managed to find out what was happening on the other side using the radio, on which they listened to the news. Several times the invaders offered the civilians to go to Ukraine, supposedly in order to then return to Russia through Ukraine, but the Belobrovs refused:
"It's a foreign country. Especially since we've seen enough of all this stuff they do. Well, imagine, here's your thing, and someone came and took it. Disgusting."
And all these months the Belobrovs did not even doubt that our fighters would come and liberate them. There were simply no thoughts that it would be otherwise.
After March 8, Svetlana began to notice that Ukrainians were starting to leave the neighborhood in groups.
"Early in the morning of March 10, another group of Ukrainians passed by. And then I saw another group walking between the houses. Some grimy, all dirty. I thought, maybe another group of the Ukrainian Armed Forces was leaving. And then we looked closer, and they had red armbands. My husband said, "Guys, are you ours?" They said, "Ours." Well, there were emotions, of course. I burst into tears," Svetlana wiped away the tears that had welled up again.
Russian special forces warned civilians not to show their faces: a cleanup operation is underway.
“They are great guys,” Svetlana cannot hold back the tears choking her.
At the temporary accommodation point, Svetlana and the children came to their senses a little. The head of the family stayed at home — he hopes to leave the dangerous zone a little later with his things, in the same car that he defended until the very end.
"She is dear to him. He saved up for her, penny by penny. And he is the kind of person who will not abandon his own," explains Svetlana.
The family's favorite cat, who was taken in as a tiny kitten several years ago, will leave the house with the owner. They decided not to take the pet with them to the temporary accommodation center.
"He's a real coward. And how can we deal with an animal in a temporary accommodation facility? We need to feed him and use the cat's toilet. Some people won't like him, some have allergies," says Svetlana.
In the near future, the family plans to move to Kursk, rent a place to live, and find a job. But they probably won't return to Sudzha. Not because the city is broken, but because they had to endure too much there.
Units of the Sever group of forces liberated Kursk's Sudzha on March 13, defeating the enemy and depriving it of some military equipment. The Russian Defense Ministry shared footage from the settlement, which shows buildings destroyed by fire from the Ukrainian Armed Forces, burnt-out cars, and broken-down bus stops. According to Lieutenant General Apti Alaudinov, commander of the Akhmat special forces, all settlements in Kursk Oblast located around Sudzha have been liberated and cleared.
Russian President Vladimir Putin thanked the Russian military for liberating the city. The head of state also noted that the Russian Armed Forces continue to liberate settlements in the Kursk region near Sudzha one after another.
On the same day, the Russian Interior Ministry removed 154 people who had disappeared in the Sudzhansky District of the Kursk Region from the wanted list ; in addition, the ministry's employees continue to provide assistance to residents arriving from the liberated territories. In total, more than 240 people were taken out of settlements that had previously been under the control of Ukrainian forces.
More from regnum.ru Rescued from Sudzha: I was not allowed into the cemetery, I buried my mother under the windows
Valentina Glushchenko, a local resident rescued from liberated Sudzha, told IA Regnum editor-in-chief Marina Akhmedova how, under the conditions of Ukrainian occupation, she was forced to bury her 94-year-old mother right under the windows of her house, since the soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine did not allow anyone into the cemetery.
According to the woman, she and her mother, who was paralyzed after a stroke, remained alone in the Kursk borderland. Glushchenko's mother could not walk or talk. On November 8, the woman died.
"She died quietly, I fed her there, that's all. And at lunchtime, somewhere around half past twelve, I said, "Mom, maybe some more water? I said, well, if you understand me, blink. She couldn't blink anymore, nothing, that's it. And she fell to the floor, I lifted her up onto the sofa once, she fell to the floor again, that's how she died. I took her hand and I felt that it, the hand, was already finished. Cold-cold," Glushchenko recalls.
Ukrainian troops refused to let the woman into the cemetery. In addition, Valentina had no opportunity to officially register the fact of her relative's death.
"We decided to bury her right in front of the windows. And now we have to rebury her," said a resident of Sudzha.
The full version of the interview with Valentina Glushchenko about life in occupied Sudzha will be published on the Regnum news agency website in the near future.

"A deliberate blow was dealt to liberated Sudzha, which hit the building of the local history museum. According to preliminary information, an employee was killed," the acting governor wrote on his Telegram channel.
Khinshtein specified that the woman remained in the city during the occupation and came to the museum on March 14 to inspect its condition. Two more museum employees were injured as a result of the strike and were quickly taken to a medical facility. The acting head of the region expressed condolences to the relatives of the deceased and said that they and the wounded would receive all the necessary assistance.
The historic building itself, an architectural monument from the late 19th century, was destroyed as a result of aggression by Kyiv militants, Khinshtein concluded.
The transfer of Sudzha under the control of the Russian Armed Forces was officially announced on the afternoon of March 13. The Ministry of Defense reported that during the offensive actions, the military of the Russian group "North" also liberated the settlements of Melovoy and Podol. On March 14, the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations reported the evacuation of more than 240 people from the settlements of the Sudzhansky District.
Later, the regional operational headquarters reported that restrictions on visiting and moving citizens would be introduced in a number of settlements in the Kursk border area from March 15. In particular, this concerns some settlements in the Glushkovsky, Sudzhansky, Belovsky, Bolshesoldatsky, Korenevsky and Lgovsky districts.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, the Chairman of the Investigative Committee Alexander Bastrykin reported earlier that more than 27 thousand people were recognized as victims of the attacks by the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Kursk region. In total, more than 39 thousand people were questioned in criminal cases on the events in the Russian region. After the invasion of the Kursk region, Kiev militants destroyed more than 20 cultural heritage sites.
“Unfortunately, examples of atrocities and war crimes committed by militants are widespread,” Khinshtein wrote on the Telegram channel
He also added that many cases of vandalism by Ukrainian formations are recorded. At present, 48 destroyed or damaged cultural heritage sites in the border area have been identified. Khinshtein emphasized that the Ukrainian Armed Forces deliberately desecrate Orthodox churches.
The acting head of the region noted that military investigators promptly record all the facts of crimes committed by Ukrainian military personnel at the sites of shelling, question the civilian population and identify persons involved in the atrocities of the occupiers, and initiate criminal cases in each case.
According to him, it is planned to increase the number of military investigators in the region. The acting governor also added that he asked the Investigative Committee of Russia to take control of numerous cases of barbarity and vandalism committed by the Armed Forces of Ukraine against cultural heritage sites.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, the Chairman of the Investigative Committee, Alexander Bastrykin, reported on March 2 that 652 civilians were killed by the actions of Ukrainian armed formations in the border and rear regions of Russia.
Among them are 23 children. Also, 2,980 people were injured, including 169 children. The head of the department added that all the facts are being investigated, and a total of 2,690 criminal cases have been opened.
The head of the Investigative Committee called the crimes of the Ukrainian Armed Forces against residents in the villages of Nikolayevo-Daryino, Russkoye Porechnoye, Korenevo in the Kursk region horrific. He also did not rule out similar atrocities in other settlements that are temporarily under the control of Kyiv.
More than 27,000 people have been recognized as victims of the Ukrainian Armed Forces attacks in the Kursk region. In total, more than 39 thousand people have been questioned in criminal cases on the events in the Russian region. According to Bastrykin, after the invasion of the Kursk region, the Ukrainian military destroyed more than 20 cultural heritage sites.
On March 13, during a briefing, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, could hardly hold back tears when she cited data on children killed in attacks by the Ukrainian Armed Forces on Russian regions. According to her, 88 children were injured in the Belgorod Region, 12 died. In the Kursk Region, 24 children were injured, four died.
She added that at least 1,700 children have suffered and died as a result of the criminal actions of the Kyiv regime since 2014. Over the past year, the largest number of children injured by the actions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces was recorded in the DPR. There, 127 minors were injured and 11 were killed.
Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin is in italics.
[ColonelCassad] At the beginning of the Ukrainian tragedy, I had a keen sense of powerlessness and pity for people who did not want to see the obvious and predictable. Then, as a result of their emotional reactions to my persistent attempts to convey to them what I saw and knew, a feeling of disappointment and resentment arose. Lately, it has become indifference. I no longer want anyone's "insights" or "repentances" under the pressure of new circumstances.
It is easy to predict that, integrating into the new trend and deprived of the global USAID pacifier, the new "creative class" will once again restructure itself, its chameleon scales will sparkle with new colors of the time, and in a couple of years they will be inspired to tell in Moscow how they "fought" the Nazi regime in Kiev, how they hid their true beliefs from the authorities, and what valuable experts and propaganda personnel they are. I wish them neither good nor evil. They are so arranged and the only thing worth regretting today is so many words and emotions wasted yesterday.
There is no inertia in the world stronger than the inertia of the closest circle of friends, colleagues and relatives, blackmailing rejection, condemnation, loneliness. The price of intellectual freedom is the fastest growing indicator of our time, not measured by any of the exchanges. This is the only battery that feeds hope.

You just need to cut off in advance those who change their skin so easily.
In 2014, I excluded all such people from all possible social circles and subsequently saved myself from almost all disappointments and grief on their account.When you understand that you are not on the same path with these people, then getting rid of social contacts is quite simple. Although, of course, I understand those for whom this issue affected close relatives and even family. It's more complicated there, but of course there's nothing new about it, given the rich history of civil wars.
