On a day when Russian military leaders appeared to publicly scale back and recalibrate the objectives of their operational aims by asserting the priority to take full control of the Donbas, airstrikes nonetheless hit a neighborhood on the outer edge of Lviv. This was only the third time that areas in Western Ukraine were targeted by Russia since the war began just over a month ago. Previously, the outskirts of Lviv had been hit. This time, a fuel depot in the Pidzamche neighborhood within the city limits was the main target.
Lviv sits just 45 miles from the Polish border and is considered Ukraine's western cultural capital, and a city that has long been considered the western oriented in the country due to its history. The Russian attack occurred on the same day that President Biden was visiting Poland, where he gave a major address at the Royal Castle in Warsaw.
