Andrii Sadovyi reminded that in addition to law enforcement officers, armed groups also take care of security in Lviv. Territorial defense of the Lviv region is two brigades: 103rd and 125th. Battalions of the 103rd Brigade are stationed in all districts of the region. And Lviv, as it is a city of millions, has its own brigade – the 125th, which deals with the defense of the city.
It will be recalled that the citizens are asked to report any information of sabotage and reconnaissance groups to a special official chatbot @stop_russian_war_bot. The bot receives and transmits information to the appropriate response headquarters. You can also send information in private messages to the telegram account @stop_russian_war.
