Two days of mourning declared in Lviv

As a sign of mourning and in memory of the victims of the Russian missile attack, the city authorities of Lviv decided to hold a two-day mourning.

This information was disseminated by Andrey Sadovy, the head of Lviv, through his channel in the Telegram messenger.

At night, the Russian side launched a missile attack on Lviv, which hit critical infrastructure and a residential building.

Sadovyi, the mayor, addressed residents in a video message, saying the attack was the largest on Lviv’s civilian infrastructure since the beginning of last year's invasion.

“Russians are hitting us. That’s how they love us. I’m sorry for those people who were killed. They were young. So sorry for them,” said Ganna Fedorenko, a local resident, holding her hands crossed on her chest. She received injuries on her face, and an adhesive plaster turned red with blood on her right cheek. “This is terrible. They hit civilians.”

The Ministry of Internal Affairs said 64 people had to leave their homes.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy promised "a response to the enemy. A tangible one.”
