According to reports from the National Police, a woman suspected of carrying out a terrorist act in Lviv operated under the direction of a so-called Russian 'curator.' She manufactured improvised explosive devices and planted them in predetermined locations. The police detailed that the cooperation between law enforcement and border guards resulted in her swift identification and arrest within a few hours in Staryj Sambir, a town within a controlled border zone.

The National Police highlighted the seriousness of the crime, noting that the Ukrainian security service is conducting the preliminary investigation into the case. The act is classified as one of the most severe crimes, with the possibility of a life sentence looming over the accused. This event follows a tragic explosion that occurred in the center of Lviv, resulting in the death of a police officer and injuries to 25 others, six of whom are reported to be in serious condition. The explosion is believed to have resulted from the detonation of the improvised explosives that were planted by the suspect.

This incident emphasizes ongoing security concerns in Ukraine in the context of the ongoing conflict with Russia. The ability of foreign operatives to influence events domestically raises alarm regarding public safety and national security. Investigations into such incidents not only aim to prevent future attacks but also shed light on the broader implications of foreign interference in Ukraine's internal matters, highlighting the continuous threat of terrorism during a time of heightened vulnerability.
