The Mayor of western Ukrainian city, Lviv uphold the resilience of his people in the midst of tough times caused by the war, continuing strong initiatives to provide immediate medical care to the wounded victims.

The invasion of Ukraine, started by Russia in February, caused massive destruction, forcing millions to flee from the place insearch of safety and protection.

A large number of Ukranians made their way towards Lviv as the transit point on their way to cross the border to Poland and other neighbouring countries.

According to him about 5 million people who left their houses and passed through Lviv, including wounded people.

His words, "Our hospitals were filled to maximum with wounded. There is need for surgeries, temporary prosthetics, permanent prosthetics, psychological, physical and social rehabilitation."

He added," 21 years ago,we hosted Pope John Paul but today Lviv host a lot of IDPs".

Around 6000 shelters have been provided for the people in need.

The new concern of Lviv is that of Russia targeting on Ukraine's power infrastructure.This can not only deepens the energy crisis but also exposeUkranian lives to difficult level as the cold weather conditions are getting harsher.

Three weeks ago Russian missiles destroyed some power plants in Lviv, Mayor said," we very quickly rebuilt the situation and today we have water and electricity."

He added, "This was a very tough time but we demonstrated maximum resilience".
