Ukrainian book publishing has become a strategic target for Russia this summer. More than 13 million books have been destroyed in attacks on publishing warehouses. And today, the enemy struck another blow — destroying Kyiv’s oldest book market.

Today, as Russia continues to destroy Ukrainian books & cultural heritage, Richard Ovenden’s Burning the Books gains a deeply personal meaning in Ukraine. We are proud to announce the 🇺🇦 edition, created as a joint charitable project with Ranok Publishing House @bodleianlibs

[Library Country Ukraine @LibraryUkraine]

Russia destroyed 8 million books in a drone strike on the warehouse of Ukrainian publisher Ranok, including 600,000 school textbooks. This was not collateral damage—it was a deliberate attack on knowledge, memory, and Ukraine's future. #CultureUnderAttack #StandWithUkraine

This story reminds us of powerful symbol of UK–Ukraine solidarity: the signing of a Memorandum of Cooperation between the libraries of #Liverpool and #Odesa, supported by His Majesty King Charles III. Libraries build bridges that no war can destroy @lpoolcouncil @LibrariesConne1

Ukraine has always been part of European civilization. Long before today's Europe, Kyivan Rus shaped the continent's history, and Anne of Kyiv became Queen of France. Our future in Europe is also our history.

[Library Country Ukraine @LibraryUkraine]

Ukraine's cultural heritage is European heritage. When Russian missiles destroy our libraries, museums, churches, and historic sites, they are attacking the shared memory and identity of Europe. Protecting Ukraine's culture means protecting our common civilization.

More than 1.5 million Ukrainian books have been destroyed in Russian missile attacks on printing warehouses in June and July. The international community must respond with the complete cultural isolation of Russia.

[Library Country Ukraine @LibraryUkraine]

Nearly 1 million Ukrainian books were destroyed in Russia's missile strike on 18–19 July, including 250,000 Grade 9 textbooks prepared for schools. Another 650,000 scientific & fiction books were damaged. Russia is attacking education, culture & the future of Ukrainian children.

What more evidence do NATO member states need to announce stronger air defense support for Ukraine at the Ankara Summit?

Another night. Another massive Russian attack. According to current reports, Russia launched 68 missiles, including 23 ballistic missiles, and none of the ballistic missiles were intercepted. As of now, at least 11 people have been killed in Kyiv. What more evidence do NATO member states need to announce stronger air defense support for Ukraine at the Ankara Summit? @UKRinNATO

[Library Country Ukraine @LibraryUkraine]

💔 A missile attack on Kyiv destroyed the central warehouse of BookChef's logistics partner, burning around 800,000 books. The Megapoligraf printing house was also damaged, where Ukrainian history textbooks for Ranok Publishing, were being printed.

Russia has struck the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, a @UNESCO World Heritage Site. Founded in 1051, the Lavra is one of the oldest Christian monasteries in Europe and a symbol of Ukraine's cultural and spiritual heritage.

Tonight, Russia heavily damaged National Art Museum of Ukraine, Chornobyl National Museum, National Philharmonic of Ukraine, National Music Academy of Ukraine, Yaroslav Mudryi National Library of Ukraine, Kyiv Opera, and numerous architectural landmarks.

April 26 marks the #Chornobyl disaster. Today, Russia uses nuclear threats, occupies Europe’s largest nuclear plant, and endangers nuclear safety.
The world must act — or history may repeat itself.
