Yes, it does. The following international destinations can be reached from this airport:

• Athens;
• Istanbul-Atatürk;
• Timişoara;
• Prague;
• Wroclaw;
• Krakow;
• Naples;
• Vienna;
• Dortmund;
• Munich;
• Venice-Treviso;
• Warsaw-Chopin;
• Moscow-Domodedovo.

Looks like they are still missing connections to almost all major European airports such as LHR, CDG, FRA and AMS.

Hopefully that will change in the near future now that the new terminal is open.

Now Asian soccer fans who wishes to see UEFA in Lviv should probably make a stop-over to Istanbul in Turkey. That's probably the nearest.

LWO is mostly served by Star Alliance members: Austrian, EuroLOT, LOT, Lufthansa and Turkish Airlines (plus UTair and UTair Ukraine as possible members). SkyTeam is only represented by Czech Airlines.

As a result, most of the traffic is being concentrated in Star Alliance's main hubs (expect Lufthansa). Due to this and giving the small amount of passenger traffic, I don't think that we will see "super-hubs" as LHR, CDG, FRA and AMS being served.
Moreover, as you can see Lufthansa is not even serving FRA.

Unfortunately, no long haul routes will be in the near future. Not enough O&D traffic to generate them. As you already said, Istanbul is an option. Also, a stop-over can be made in Kyiv.

^^ Thanks for answering. BTW, what types of aircraft the airport can accommodate?

You are welcome
The maximum types that can be accommodated are B767/B787/A330.
The larger jet can land, however I am not sure if the steering ways are capable to handle them.

No. Actually I arrived and departed from the new terminal on my flights from/to Warsaw. Moreover I had a chance to see it all and take those shots at the new apron:
