Question, would solar and wind charging batteries be viable to give Ukrainians enough power to heat their homes or secret town centers? I know it's winter but removing dependence on the grid for a few things will go a long way.

No it wouldn't. Not enough to make a difference.

Wind is not a good option. Just too difficult and slow to set up. Solar could work for electricity in small hospitals and such but hardly much more. It would still take longer to set up than a generator and for hospitals you really want a generator as backup regardless. Solar seems viable for communal centers though.
Heating with electricity is out of the question since resistant heating is the only thing you could set up in time and that's a power hog you really don't want in times of shortages. They might have to do it in some hospitals but it'll be tough on fuel logistics for sure. Coal, wood and fixing the grid asap are the best options for heating.
Germany recently delivered a number of generators from the disaster response teams. I hope those will help.
