I flew into Lviv when they spelled it Lvov. Some airport official offered me the “services” of his secretary. The construction of the buildings was pure Soviet.....shoddy and depressing.

What are the “terrorists” doing near the Polish border, I thought they were in the east?

The paratroopers destroyed 7 tanks, 5 APCs, 3 Grad missile batteries and 7 trucks with ammunition.

They also killed about 120-150 terrorists, he said.

It was a good night hunting --

“What are the “terrorists” doing near the Polish border, I thought they were in the east?”

The paratroopers were based at Lviv, but their combat engagement occurred along the M04 motorway between Luhansk and the Russian border on the eastern end of the Ukraine.
