The airstrike caused fires to break out that took almost four hours to be extinguished, a military official said

The intense fighting in eastern and southern Ukraine has forced millions of people to flee to the country’s westernmost regions.

At least 200,000 people have arrived in Lviv alone, according to the city’s mayor Andriy Sadovyi, pushing the city to its limits.

Many locals have opened their homes to the refugees and the city has also recently built two container towns for families who were staying in temporary shelters in schools and sports facilities.

But working with the Ukrainian Red Cross Society, Lviv is now constructing two new buildings specifically for pregnant women and mothers of young children.

Away from the city center, the site was chosen in the hope that it will offer some calm to its future residents.

Peace and quiet is what people like Tetiana, who is expecting her fifth child in July, are dreaming of.

She and her husband want to name their son Victor to commemorate the victory they are expecting Ukraine to achieve.

This is not the first time that she and her older children had to run from war. In 2014, the family lived in Horlivka when it became part of the separatist Donetsk People’s Republic.

There, hiding in a cellar, she gave birth to her daughter Milana. When the family’s house was destroyed, she moved to Kamianske, to a container shelter much like the one she currently calls home in Lviv.

After four years there, the family moved to Slovyansk, where her husband — who is now fighting for Ukraine on the frontline — got a good job. They dreamt of buying a house and raising their children in peace.

Instead, she is once again sheltering in a container with her children, hundreds of miles away from her husband.

Tetiana says that she has been offered a chance to move to the new buildings as soon as they are ready, potentially in a couple of months’ time.

Anton Kolomieytsev, Lviv’s chief architect, said he and his colleagues are trying to think months and years ahead, knowing some refugees will likely stay long-term.

“They have nowhere to go. Many of them will have to stay here even after the end of the war,” he said.

Containers are a good temporary solution, but they are expensive. According to Kolomieytsev, one square meter of container housing costs $800, a price that is comparable to the cost of building regular houses.

Kolomieytsev said he wants the city to build apartments which internally displaced people would be able to rent for 10 years for a lower price before having the right to become their owners.

But he says his grand plans will rely on international donors. The public coffers have been completely depleted by the war.
