It will be recalled that as a result of the Russian occupiers’ invasion of Ukraine, many servicemen have to defend our land, and civilians from the territories where hostilities are taking place have to leave their homes and escape by evacuation. Lviv Now has gathered contacts of humanitarian headquarters, charitable organizations that collect, provide assistance to the military and shelters for internally displaced people.
