In Lviv, families of prisoners of war held demonstrations to remind everyone of those who will spend their third Christmas in Russian captivity.
“Symbolic tables and empty chairs served as a call to remember and take action. We must do everything possible to bring our heroes home,” Lviv City Mayor Andriy Sadovyi said.

As part of the initiative "All Captive by Holidays, They Are Missing and Captive During Holidays", a table with Christmas decorations and empty chairs symbolically holding military jackets was set up in the center of the square.
Amid over a hundred relatives of prisoners of war and missing persons, government officials, and concerned Lviv residents, a table stood prominently in the square, symbolically split in half. One side featured a festive tablecloth, traditional Christmas dishes, while the other side displayed prison bowls and cups with stale pieces of bread.
