@@Whatisthisstupidfinghandlebut but but isnt RU destroying cities? Look at Gaza! Im Croat, so IF ANYTHING, Id be anti RU. But Im pro EU. We threw away a trustworthy partner that delivered gas and made Europes economy grow. Now? My Mom has to fire employees in Croatia, due to energy prices 400-1000% higher. Specialy gas is still used often in kitchens in Croatia (and former Yugo.)

@@nemiw4429 Russia is destroying an area of Ukraine that is much bigger than Gaza for a much longer time now, and I hate to have to make comparisons because tragedy is tragedy (and not a wiener measuring competition). Russians have tortured and mutilated little children and elderly people by hand (I will spare details, they're gruesome and I don't know what you can handle knowing). Missiles have flown all across the country, two air raids went off in the afternoon today in the far Western oblasts.

"Lviv is a city" is a poetic, general definition that reflects the versatility and uniqueness of this beautiful city. Lviv impresses with its architecture, culture, history and hospitality. Its streets are full of secrets, and every house bears the imprint of past eras. The city is known for its coffee, street exhibitions, art festivals and romantic atmosphere.

Before the war I remember seeing lots of soldiers in Lviv, too. Visiting Lviv convinced me to move to Ukraine 😊 beautiful and safe city. I just hope sometime in the future the gas emissions are delt with so the air will be cleaner and easier to breathe. I was coughing a lot walking around the streets. I didn't have this issue anywhere else, it wasn't so busy in Ternopil or Ivano Frankivsk.

People are possibly more friendly when they live more consciously and forget all the silly small things that keep us apart from each other.

@bohomazdesign725 Ай бұрын

Lviv and Poznań give me a very similar vibe (not only the architecture - height and style of buildings, the fact that those building are very colorful) - a mid sized city thats busy, but at the same time its so laid back.

I’m so glad to see a young American man going to Lviv. Lviv is a beautiful city and Putin has tried to destabilize the city.🇺🇦Ukraine is an old country with lots of history. American people may have to migrate to Ukraine if Donald Trump gets elected president. Living in a dictatorship is not where I can live.

Nice to see Lviv again. However my questions would be why have you let your country become controlled and owned by Israeli Oligarchs? And why did you let Zelenski break the Minsk Peace Treaty?
