The OSCE will demand that those responsible for the attack on Lviv be held accountable
The OSCE commented on the Russian attack on Lviv, emphasizing the need to hold those responsible to account.
This was reported by the President of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly, Pere Juan Pons Sampietro, on social media.
“The destruction of Ukraine’s cultural heritage amid Russian aggression is a blow to our identity and shared humanity. As President of the OSCE PA, I will keep this issue at the center of our agenda, push for those responsible to be held accountable, and ensure that this is reflected in the Hague Declaration,” Sampietro wrote.
As a reminder, the Ukrainian Institute of National Remembrance (UINR) has appealed to the international community to expel Russia from UNESCO due to systematic attacks on cultural heritage sites in Ukraine.
On March 24, during a Russian drone attack in Lviv, the Bernardine Monastery complex—an architectural monument of national significance—was damaged.
In addition to the historical monument, strikes on critical infrastructure facilities in the Komarno and Dobrosyn-Maheriv communities of Lviv Oblast were recorded. Thirteen people were injured as a result of the enemy attack. The Bernardine Monastery complex, built in the early 17th century, is a remarkable example of Renaissance, Mannerist, and Baroque architecture, comprising a church, cells, and defensive walls with a tower.
On March 24, Russian occupiers launched a massive attack on western regions of Ukraine using kamikaze drones. In Lviv, one of the drones struck a building in the city center, causing a fire.
This attack was part of a large-scale air offensive by the Russian Federation that on March 24 targeted several regions of Ukraine, including critical infrastructure facilities in the rear areas.
