Putin has a chilling new target in his plot to break Ukraine’s spirit

Russian forces have intensified attacks on Ukraine's cultural infrastructure, targeting publishing warehouses, book markets, and distribution centers as part of a broader effort to undermine Ukrainian morale and identity. In recent months, over 10 million books have been destroyed, including critical school textbooks, disrupting education ahead of the new academic year. Strikes on facilities such as the Konvi publishing house in Kyiv have caused significant damage, with reports indicating that these attacks are escalating in frequency and scale. Analysts argue that while Russia aims to suppress Ukrainian culture, the attacks have instead galvanized civilian resistance, reinforcing national unity against perceived 'cultural genocide.'
