VLADIMIR Putin launched fresh attacks over night in Lviv striking multiple power stations in the city causing huge devastation.
Russia resumed their shelling, striking power stations in the city of Lviv which is seen as relatively safe.
Six railway stations were also struck and blackouts were caused in the western city, the mayor said.
Russia also launched a bid to storm the wrecked Azovstal steel plant yesterday as 400 civilians remained trapped in “hell” in bunkers and tunnels below the bomb-blitzed site.
The devastated Mariupol factory faced airstrikes and bombardment by tanks and naval guns as attempts were made to land infantry by boat after a ceasefire to evacuate the trapped collapsed.
The news comes as the European Union is expected to unveil plans for new sanctions on Russia’s oil industry today.
This will cause added economic pressure to Putin’s regime.
This will be a big move given how many member states are reliant on this source.
They’ve already paid more than £47 billion euros ($47.43bn) to Russia for the country’s gas and oil since the war began.
