A snowstorm has battered Moscow, Russia's capital, since early Tuesday morning, prompting an orange alert for the coming days and causing flight disruptions.
The snow is expected to continue throughout the week in Moscow, where around 145,000 personnel and over 15,000 vehicles were mobilized on Tuesday for snow-clearing operations.
"The Moscow region has seen record-breaking snowfall today, the heaviest since 1995. And snow depth will continue to increase," said Evgeny Tishkovets, a Russian meteorologist.
The severe snowstorm has also disrupted air traffic, leading to the suspension of departures and arrivals for several hours at Sheremetyevo Airport. However, other airports in Moscow remain unaffected so far.

China Media Group (CMG) on Wednesday held a send-off ceremony for its team assigned to cover the Milan-Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games.
At the event, CMG President Shen Haixiong delivered a mobilization speech to rally the delegation.
As an official rights-holding broadcaster for the 2026 Milan-Cortina Games and the only media organization involved in producing the 8K international public broadcast signal, CMG aims to integrate cutting-edge technologies into event broadcasting and signal production.
CMG will, for the first time in history, be responsible for the production of an ultra high-definition international public signals for figure skating and short track speed skating events at the 2026 Winter Olympics. In addition, CMG will also produce 8K broadcast signals for four events: the opening ceremony, the closing ceremony, figure skating, and short track speed skating.
The "China Red" fleet of 4K/8K ultra-high-definition broadcast vehicles dispatched by CMG arrived at the renowned San Siro Stadium in Italy's Milan on January 13, and has completed its setup and deployment.
The century-old stadium is scheduled to host the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics on February 6.
CMG had reserved a 1,700-square-meter working area at the Milan International Broadcasting Center, along with a 223-square-meter Central Technical Area equipment room. Three studio systems have been established, fully covering core functions.
