According to international media reports, several feet of snow have accumulated across the city, significantly disrupting daily life and public services.
Media sources stated that Moscow has experienced its fifth most severe snowfall in 146 years during the current month, marking an extraordinary weather event in the city’s climatic history.

In addition, residents are facing growing difficulties in carrying out routine activities, while offices, educational institutions, and commercial operations have also been affected.
