Remembering Mariupol: Mural in Lviv

Description:
The description on the image reads, "A mural dedicated to Mariupol has been created in Lviv to support the displaced people from this city. A resident of Lviv shares her thoughts and faith in the liberation of Mariupol: "In the heart of Lviv, there is a monumental mural dedicated to Mariupol. It depicts a theater with the poignant inscription 'Children' in front of its entrance, symbolizing the heartless bombings by the Russians, disregarding the lives of innocent people inside. The mural also honors the defenders who fought for the city until the very end. Adjacent to the mural, there is an entrance to a center that provides assistance to internally displaced persons (IDPs) from Mariupol. Lviv welcomes everyone. No matter what challenges come our way, we will endure. I hold onto the hope of visiting a liberated Mariupol at the earliest opportunity. It's regrettable that I didn't have the chance to experience it before the war, but I am determined to discover and embrace its spirit once peace is restored." The word on this specific mural is діти (Children). Reuse permission: Professor Anasstasia Fedyk-UC Berkeley- The AI for Good Foundation
