Un atac cu drone ruseşti a distrus 8 milioane de cărţi în Ucraina / „Un atac împotriva educaţiei şi a culturii ucrainene. Hitler ar fi gelos”, a declarat Viktor Kruglov, directorul editurii Ranok

A Russian drone attack in Ukraine destroyed 8 million books, including school manuals, marking the most severe assault of its kind since the invasion began in 2022. Viktor Kruglov, director of the affected Ranok publishing house, condemned the attack as an assault on Ukrainian education and culture. The strike occurred on August 1 at a logistics center in Kharkiv, just before the new school year. This incident represents the largest loss for Ukraine's book industry infrastructure since the war started. Ukrainian publishers frequently report significant losses due to Russian attacks, with previous incidents resulting in over 1 million books destroyed in July alone.
