What to know about Ukraine’s Lviv, the relative haven where strikes killed seven people
Ukrainian officials say seven people, among them one child, were killed Monday when apparent Russian airstrikes struck Liviv — the largest city in western Ukraine and one that has been spared the worst of the war’s violence.
The attack marked the first deaths in the city itself, but in March when two Russian missiles struck Lviv, alarm bells went off — in part because at the time President Biden was some 250 miles away on a visit to Poland.
In the nearly two months since Russia invaded Ukraine, the relatively safe city near the Polish border has been transformed into a hub for diplomats and international aid agencies. It’s become a destination for many of the millions of Ukrainians displaced from their homes, and a transit point for many of the roughly 4.5 million Ukrainians, mainly women and children, made refugees by the war.
Lviv Mayor Andriy Sadovyi said the March 26 strikes were Russian President Vladimir Putin wanting “to say hello” to President Biden, who hours later forcefully condemned Putin in an address from Warsaw, Poland’s capital.
As the assault on Ukraine grinds on, here’s what to know about Lviv, the Ukrainian city that’s become a pillar of support and refuge for a country at war.
