A monument to the Heroes of the Vovchukhiv Offensive was recently unveiled in the village of Vovchukhy, Horodok Raion, Lviv Oblast. One of the most successful offensive operations of the Ukrainian Galician Army took place in this region from Feb. 17 to March 18, 1919 during the Polish-Ukrainian War (1918–1919). At that time, Ukrainians relied on their own strength, their own forces, their own army in order to liberate Lviv and Peremyshl (today’s Przemysl, Poland) and live in their own country, but international political schemes prevented these plans from being fulfilled.
