Lviv has become one of the main centers accepting Ukrainian migrants fleeing from war. However, even here, in a city that is as close as 60 km from the Polish border, no one can guarantee safety. You never know where the rocket may hit the next time. Everyone has to be permanently ready. If the sirens go off - we have to go to shelters and return to work afterwards time after time. There have been three massive attacks by now. Lviv is now overfilled with people, there is a constant rotation of people - some arrive, others leave; the statistical data says there are about 200,000 migrants in Lviv at the moment. It is nearly impossible to find a place to stay in hostels, hotels and rented apartments. But many Lviv residents host people in their homes, mostly free of charge. For instance, we are hosting people from Kyiv at the moment; we hosted people from Kherson and Kharkiv before that. Lviv residents now feel responsible for those people and are mobilized to the maximum possible level in order to take the best possible care of them. We realize that the situation in Mariupil’, Kharkiv and Chernihiv is a thousand times worse, so it is our task to help those cities that suffer from constant attacks.
