Andriana Stakhiv, a correspondent for Espreso TV, found out what the affected buildings look like now.

Currently, the most active work is being carried out on the house number 44 on Konovaltsia Street. Here, the destroyed floors are being dismantled piece by piece. Before that, together with the workers, the residents managed to take away all the things that could still be saved and preserved in some way.

"Today, we are dismantling building No. 44. It needs to be dismantled down to the second floor. All the work was done manually because we tried to take out a lot of the residents‘ property with the help of rescuers to save what was left intact," says Oksana Pryhoda, head of the Frankivsk district of Lviv, and shows the place where the work is underway.

Part of the top floor has already been dismantled, but there is still a lot of work to be done. These walls will have to be removed, the builders say, because they are all cracked. A few meters away, you can see a stairwell with a completely destroyed staircase, and around it, workers are collecting brick by brick the parts of the houses that cannot be restored.

Meanwhile, residents of a house located close to the attack and left without part of its roof complain that water has come into their homes along with the rains. According to Lviv city council representatives, this situation arose because the damaged parts of 44 Konovaltsia Street had to be dismantled from the roof of the neighboring building, as otherwise there would have been no access. However, the solution is already in place and the damaged roof structure will soon be restored, and in the meantime, Oksana Pryhoda is looking for temporary options to improve the situation on the spot.

At the same time, there is still a lot of work to be done on the affected area. Not all of the destroyed parts have been removed, the rain is turning the ground underfoot into a swamp, the windows are covered with film, as are some of the roofs. At the nearby lyceum, the roof has already been restored and some of the broken windows replaced, and the rest are expected to be delivered next week, after which they will finish fixing up the classrooms inside to return students in grades 6-9 to the school.
