LVIV, Ukraine (AP) – Russian rockets struck the western Ukrainian city of Lviv while President Joe Biden visited neighboring Poland.
The attacks Saturday were a reminder that Moscow is willing to strike anywhere in Ukraine despite its claim to be focusing its offensive on the country’s east.
The airstrikes shook a city seen as a haven in Ukraine for hundreds of thousands of displaced people and prompted some to pack up once again.
Lviv also has become a humanitarian staging ground for Ukraine, and the attacks could further complicate that work. In Poland, Biden met with refugees in a show of solidarity.
