An August 2026 article in The Conversation contains this statistic: "This summer alone, Russian attacks have destroyed nearly 10 million books, eliminating approximately 74% of Ukraine’s 2026 book output according to analysis by Chytomo, Ukraine’s largest digital media platform for books, publishing and culture."
The article goes on to talk about HURI Books’ Ukrainian Book Challenge. Buy a Ukrainian book, either about Ukraine or from Ukraine, translated into English, then post a photo on social media labeled #UkrainianBookChallenge.
There’s also a The Ukraine Shelf podcast, featuring Olesya Khromeychuk, author, historian and director of the Ukrainian Institute London (UIL) and Uilleam Blacker, literary translator and scholar of Ukrainian and East European culture at UCL.
