Last week, Kyiv Independent journalist Asami Terajima joined the show from Lviv to discuss the heartbreaking decision she had to make to leave her hometown of Kyiv as tensions continued to mount in the Ukrainian capital. The city of Lviv and surrounding region had only endured a few attacks prior to today, and life had continued as normal in many respects, with restaurants open, non-essential shops selling clothes and souvenirs, and even a tourist golf cart still driving around the old town square for those keen on doing a bit of sightseeing. However, several powerful explosions have struck the outskirts of the western Ukrainian city this afternoon, confirming local suspicions that it was only a matter of time before the war arrived in Lviv. Terajima is back with us for an update on the situation.
