Security risks: Lviv is until now far from the war and the place where administrative bodies are based and humanitarian assistance is taking place. Nevertheless, the evolution of the conflict is completely unprectictable and it is possible that Lviv becomes an active place of fighting or the target of Russian bombings. Evacuation is complicated and SI would certainly follow the exact same road than all the Ukrainian civilians on the run.
