"Russia once again attacked peaceful cities of Ukraine. Deliberately - residential buildings, educational, critical infrastructure. Their goal remains unchanged: more civilian casualties, more destruction, more pain. Today, Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk and Ternopil regions were under a massive enemy attack. About five hundred rescuers and more than a hundred units of equipment are working at 9 active locations," Klymenko noted.
