A thin man stands in the center of the household photo. He's a lion. Jarosław Basilevich. He's surrounded by his wife Yevhenija and daughters Jarina, Darina and Emilia. 1 of the girls is holding a bouquet of sunflowers... On Wednesday, September 4th, this photograph was announced by social media and news portals. There is simply a dramatic video of the wounded father of the household being treated by paramedics, and the body of 1 of the girls is removed from the rubble of the home. Jarosław was the only survivor of a Russian rocket hit their home. The full household tried to wait out the raid on the stairwell, but he was separated from the others for a while. He went into the flat to bring water. That's what saved him, but in the same second he lost all his loved ones.
In the centre of Europe, Russia murders Ukrainians with full families. Russians kill our children, our future – wrote Lwow's mer on Facebook Andrij Sadowy. I do not know what words to support my father – Jarosław. present we are with you. My sincere condolences and eternal memory.
Massive explosions
According to data from urban and rescue authorities, 5 people were killed as a consequence of a "combined" attack with rockets and drones. At least 64 were injured. It all started at 5:20 a.m. erstwhile 2 powerful explosions spread. – We woke up, saw the explosion, then another one. It's all red and shrapnel. We ran out and saw what was happening – She told me about the first minutes after the raid. Halina Prokop, a city resident.
The exact demolition was assessed a small later. 2 areas suffered (diversaries): Frankowski and Railway, and the main hit hit the historical part of the city. – Most damaged objects are historical heritage. A full of 70 houses were damaged – told journalists about the Sadowy.
The mark was residential areas
As the head of the administration of the Lviv region explained Maxim Koszyki, there were at least 7 buildings with local heritage status, and all are located in the UNESCO buffer zone, bordering the territory where the world-class monuments are located. Koszycki emphasized that the mark of the enemy was civilian residential areas without military and infrastructure facilities. According to Ukrainian military expert Alexi Hetman It wasn't the last specified attack. For the invaders are all about fear and panic. But not just that.
– They are curious in our reaction to specified actions, the reaction of the global community. If this is followed by a firm consequence from our partners, it is possible that the occupiers will not proceed to do so. – the expert assessed. – But if it's just the anxiety and outrage we've heard for many years, then the occupiers will grin and proceed the attacks.
The reaction was explained by the head of the Ukrainian abroad Ministry Dmitro Kuleba, which called for "all capitals, ministers and global organisations" to condemn Russia's war crimes against civilians. But besides to supply the promised anti-aircraft defence and ammunition kits as shortly as possible and to let Ukraine to attack military targets in deep Russia. Warsaw replied almost immediately. In his statement, the Polish Ministry of Diplomacy condemned "the Russian rocket attack on the civilian population in Lviv", expressed "deep sympathy and solidarity with the people of Ukraine" and assured that our country "will proceed to support Ukraine in its defence against Russian aggression". Prime Minister Donald Tusk declared that Poland will aid rebuild historical tenements, and the Head of the Cooperation Council with Ukraine Paweł Kowal promised to prepare a peculiar support plan for Lviv in the coming days. – Our experts have unique cognition and are willing to share it erstwhile rebuilding destroyed cultural monuments. Especially since many of them have been working with Ukrainian experts for respective decades to defend the heritage of Lviv – He reminded me.
