Russian President Vladimir Putin could have had a number of different motivations to attack Lviv, Mr Bell says.

“US President Joe Biden was visiting Poland at the time of the attack. And while not strictly that close – it could definitely be seen as a message that ‘we are not finished’.

“Another possibility is that the world’s press are in Lviv. We’ve seen reports showing us how the people of the city are pretty much going about their lives as normal. It could have been a way of telling them they aren’t safe.

“Russia could also have been targeting strategic sites that may not have an impact on Ukraine’s war effort right away – but maybe at some point down the line.
