As reported by ThePublic.info, citing Lviv Region Police, an incident occurred in Lviv involving two parents of primary school students who study in the same class and previously had a conflict. Initially, the men met in the director's office together with a social worker, but the conversation did not yield results, and the dispute was continued in the school yard.
