> The Ukrainian Book Institute says Russian attacks on publishing, printing and warehouse facilities in July and early August destroyed about 10m books, including roughly 8m at an RNK-Ranok warehouse in Kharkiv and more than 1.5m in Kyiv. Publishers warn that the country’s entire book ecosystem could collapse and are seeking international support.
