Displaced people coming here looking for sanctuary and looking for refuge in lviv but in longer finding that here. you speak to ukrainians through the day today and they won t say will lviv be hit again but when? that is when putin broadened the attacks and made it very clear there is no more sanctuary in this country. so people are very on edge here. they were shaken up before this happened when the outskirts of the city was hit. now they are really frightened that they could be a target in this war here in lviv. and, you know, it is pretty remarkable. is the idea and is what you re hearing on the ground that russia is expanding? because they don t seem to have the capability to be blunt to wage war throughout this massive country. they seem to have been at least up until the last couple weeks focussing on the east, on trying to create this land bridge to create mia. crimea. does it feel they changed that
Family and about other people living here, and hopefully it would not happen as it was yesterday. reporter: there is still a sense of security in this city. many of the residents we speak to consider themselves lucky they re not in the east that are not under that heavy shelling. but a question that s on all of their lips here is how long will lviv remain a safe haven? because all of the people who we spoke to said vladamir putin is capable of anything. they pointed out he s bombed churches, schools, hospitals. even though they feel relatively safe here, they wonder how long that safely will last for. well, thank you, ali, who is in ukraine. joining me now is senator amy klobuchar of minnesota, a member of the senate judiciary committee. senator, let me go right to it.
Amazing stoicism. they are very tough people. most of them that you speak to say they are the lucky ones that they are here in lviv, that they are my brothers and sisters in the east of the country are the ones that are really suffering. but it s certainly punctured the sense of security in lviv. it s always been a safe zone for the people that escaped the battered east of the country and a lot of people here are wondering, you know, how long will lviv remain a sanctuary, a rough uj for the waves and waves of displace the people that are coming here. and all of those children, too. i spoke to a young man who is here helping with the war effort, sending supplies to kyiv. his wife was in the medical business. she decided to stay. they had an i.t. business in kyiv. they said they have no idea if the business is still standing. insurance wasn t going to cover their business and they sent their child to live with their grandparents in germany and that really does sum up what s going on here
