Lviv commemorated the 119th anniversary of Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) Commander-in-Chief Roman Shukhevych's birth on June 30 with ceremonies in Lviv and Bilohorshcha.

Lviv marked the 119th anniversary of Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) Commander-in-Chief Roman Shukhevych's birth on June 30. Commemorative events took place in Lviv and in the nearby village of Bilohorshcha, where a museum dedicated to Shukhevych is being restored. Representatives from the clergy, public, and local authorities gathered to lay flowers, light lamps, and participate in a joint prayer. This year's commemoration holds particular significance as the site of Shukhevych's last battle and death was reportedly destroyed by an enemy in 2024.
