Restoration works are under way in Lviv on the residential building at 77 Vyhovskoho Street, which was seriously damaged by a Russian missile strike. The floor slab between the 3rd and 4th floors has already been rebuilt and reconstruction of the destroyed walls has begun.
First Deputy Mayor Andriy Moskalenko reported on the progress of the works. According to him, the restoration is being carried out in stages: first the unsafe structures were dismantled and the premises cleared, after which a new floor slab between the 3rd and 4th floors was installed. Specialists are now working on the section between the 4th and 5th floors and in parallel are restoring the damaged external walls.
“After dismantling the destroyed structures and clearing the premises, we have already restored the floor slab between the 3rd and 4th floors. We are now working on the next section — between the 4th and 5th floors. At the same time, we are restoring the damaged external walls of the building. This is a complex restoration, where it is important not just to eliminate the consequences of the strike, but to return the building to a safe condition” — Andriy Moskalenko
The official stressed that the city’s main goal is to complete all the works as quickly and to as high a standard as possible, so that residents can return to their flats.
It should be recalled that on 30 July Russia carried out a massive missile attack on Lviv. Enemy missiles hit, in particular, residential buildings on Vyhovskoho and Patona Streets. In total, 35 residential buildings in the city were damaged at that time, with the worst affected being the buildings at 25 Patona Street and 77 Vyhovskoho Street. Around 2,300 windows were blown out in them, and a school, nursery and library were also damaged.
As a result of this attack, Lviv resident Volodymyr Shandra was killed and another 38 residents were injured. Following the shelling, mobile CNAPs were deployed near the destroyed buildings in Lviv in accordance with the established protocol. Specialists provided 1,274 consultations, drew up 850 damage reports and held 16 field meetings with residents. The city also received 278 applications for compensation for shattered windows and doors.
