Explosions in the western Ukrainian city of Lviv on Sunday night were part of a terrorist attack planned by Russia, said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. He described the incident as a cynical and brutal act of terrorism. The tragedy claimed the life of a 23-year-old policewoman, Viktoria, and injured at least 25 people.
According to the city's mayor, Andriy Sadovyi, this was a clear terrorist attack. The explosions shook the city center, which lies close to the Polish border. The city of Lviv is located in western Ukraine and has become the target of individual Russian attacks in recent months. Sadovyi further confirmed that the incident was a systematic approach to endangering the civilian population.
At the time of this attack, Ukraine recorded intense military activity. In parallel with the explosions in Lviv, air attacks were taking place on other cities, including Kyiv, where explosions were repeatedly heard. The incident in Lviv thus became part of a broader campaign by the Russian armed forces targeting Ukrainian cities and civilian facilities. The new development in determining responsibility for the attack confirms the long-standing pattern of Russian attacks on Ukrainian cities during the war.
