Russia struck the heart of Lviv – a historic centre recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. On 24 March, Russian drones hit central areas of the city, damaging homes and a protected cultural landmark. At least 13 civilians were injured. The same day, other Ukrainian cities – including Vinnytsia, Ternopil, Zhytomyr, and Ivano-Frankivsk – were also targeted. At least 3 people were killed. 💬 "Russia is doing exactly what the Iranian regime is doing in the Middle East, but in the middle of Europe. Russia proves its status of a terrorist state. And this is how it must be dealt with – through strength, not weakness, and increased pressure on all fronts," said Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, @andrii_sybiha. Ukraine has called on the UNESCO Director-General to respond to this crime in the strongest terms. Russia must be held accountable.
