LNMU is the strongest Ukrainian university in this survey on academic and institutional grounds. 240 years old. #1 by Ministry of Health. #1 among Ukrainian medical universities on Webometrics. 78 departments, 41 hospitals, 1,211 scientists, 22 research schools. This is a genuinely substantial institution — not a mid-tier school riding on low fees. Lviv is safer than the other three — but the January 2026 Oreshnik strike is a serious warning. The Oreshnik is a hypersonic IRBM travelling at 12,00
