Bishop Lviv: 'Putin wants the whole country, not just the Donbass'

The conflict in Ukraine is far from limited to the Donbass area.

This is the opinion of the Catholic archbishop of Lviv, Msgr.

Mieczyslaw Mokrzycki.

Speaking of the missiles that fell on Lviv yesterday afternoon, which affected a power plant and some points of the railway, so much so that level crossings are not working in Lviv today and local trains must announce themselves by ringing before arrival, the archbishop said: " The bombings also hit here, Lviv, because Putin occasionally makes these signs that he not only wants to conquer a part of Ukraine, he wants to conquer the whole country.

    Yesterday, Transcarpathia was also hit for the first time.

    "And we are sorry because even here in Lviv it is destroying important infrastructures for communications, to keep people alive and to have work. We hope - the bishop told ANSA, as part of the mission in Ukraine of the pontifical foundation Aid to Church in Need - may this tragedy, may this horrible war end soon. "
