Air strikes hit Lviv in western Ukraine as Russian forces mass in the east

Description

Air strikes killed at least seven people in Ukraine's western city of Lviv on Monday (April 18), as Russia pounded targets across the country and massed forces for an expected all-out assault in the east. Ukrainian authorities urged people in Donbas to move west to escape a large-scale Russian offensive to capture its composite regions of Donetsk and Lugansk. "Russian troops are preparing for an offensive operation in the east of our country in the near future. They want to literally finish off and destroy Donbas," Zelensky said. FRANCE 24's Rob Parsons tells us more.
