Never never seen any racism or fascism, living here since 2020. Plenty of Africans in my social circle, being at University. Lviv is free and democratic.

The "average salary" is a little suspect. I had no problem making $20 to $30 an hour teaching English. I think that average must include pensioners. Nobody I've met makes less than $1200 or so. Also, the reported salary is often lower than actual.

Lviv is of the world's most beautiful cities I've visited so far, and Ukrainians are one of the finest and most humble and warmhearted people I've met in general. I'm so sorry their country is facing so much agony, but I'm very hopeful that the peace and prosperity will settle down in Ukraine very soon! May God bless you and always keep you safe!

Much love & respect for all of you from your Croatian brothers and sisters & see you soon, my beloved Lviv! <3

I have no idea where exactly in Lviv you have been and who you spoke to, but what “ racism” are you talking about? If you were around your facist friends there is no toleration towards russian fascism in Ukraine !
