Quote: "This is another war crime. And this is not the only building in Lviv that has suffered such a fate. There have been many more such targets than world public opinion realises," Sikorski commented.
He urged Western leaders to speed up the flow of military aid to Ukraine and reiterated Prime Minister Donald Tusk's pledge to fund the reconstruction of damaged buildings in Lviv.
In an interview with France's Le Monde, Sikorski called for long-range weapons restrictions to be lifted from Ukraine and stressed that its resilience is not infinite.
