The city’s mayor, Andriy Sadovyi, representatives of Jewish organizations, the public, and clergy lit candles and laid flowers at the monument to the victims of the Lviv Ghetto, and together, they recited a memorial prayer.
“Today, amid wartime, we understand more deeply the tragedy experienced by the Jewish people. Today, the Ukrainian people stand at the forefront, defending the right of free nations to live, develop, and be worthy. So today, we are all together with the Jewish people. And it will always be so. And when you take this step towards freedom, towards liberty, G-d always helps you, despite all trials,” noted Andriy Sadovyi, the mayor of Lviv.
