"The situation is dire. The injured are constantly receiving help from doctors. It is unknown how the situation will develop further. Many buildings have been attacked; in total, there are seventy buildings in two areas of Lviv. People from six buildings will need to find new housing. All of these are historical monuments. This is a disaster," said Lviv's mayor, Andriy Sadovyi, in an interview with Radio Eska.
On the night from Tuesday to Wednesday, the Russians launched a missile attack on many areas of Ukraine. Lviv suffered the most, where at least seven people were killed, including three children, and 38 were injured. "The rescue operation could take many more hours," emphasized Sadovyi.
"Barbarism. They are killing civilians"
The city leader emphasized that all services are working on-site. How many people might be under the rubble of damaged buildings is still unknown. Unfortunately, the tragic toll of victims may increase.
"Rescuers are working non-stop because some people might be in inaccessible places. I am right here, talking to residents. We are helping. This is barbarism, as they are killing civilians. There are no military targets here. All these buildings are residential," Sadovyi emotionally told Eska.
