Lviv mayor Andriy Ivanovych Sadovyi spends his days in meetings with the government, local officials, refugees, diplomats, and updating the press.
He compared the onslaught to Middle East terrorism.Refugees from different places of Ukraine take shelter in Lviv.“Right now our lives [are] very reminiscent of the citizens of Israel. Yesterday we had five air raid alerts. Whenever there is a siren people seek shelter,” he said.
“I think the active phase of the war will last for several months. And then some sort of agreement will be signed, but this agreement will be of temporary nature because Russia has always been, and will always be, an aggressor,” Sadovyi said, predicting an ultimately favorable outcome for his country.Sadovyi takes part in the Unity March on Feb. 19.“Light always wins over darkness,” he said.
The new arrivals have placed tremendous strain on the city’s infrastructure and the mayor said he is in desperate needs of supplies — specifically modular homes to accommodate the newcomers.“Their relatives are fighting like lions on the front line and we must do the utmost to make sure their wives and children are safe here,” he said.
