Until yesterday, the Ukrainian city of Lviv has been a safe place for hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian refugees fleeing the war. 

Ukraine says up to 30 Russian missiles have been fired at the Yavoriv military training base near the border with NATO member Poland.

Officials say at least 35 people were killed, and 134 were critically injured in the attack.

A few days before this horrific attack, I spoke with Victoria Vasyliuk, a resident of Lviv who has been hosting refugees from Kyiv. 

We discussed what it has been like on the ground for internally displaced people in Ukraine. She also gave a personal account of Russia's aggression against her country.

Please note this interview took place prior to the recent tragedy in Lviv.
