Russia is systematically targeting Ukraine's publishing industry, repeatedly attacking printing houses, publishing facilities, and book warehouses. In July alone, 1.5 million Ukrainian books were destroyed, with losses estimated in the hundreds of millions of hryvnias. During the July 19 attack, one printing house lost its production facilities along with more than 400,000 school textbooks. Other publishing businesses also sustained significant damage. I have instructed the Ministry of Culture, together with the Ministry of Finance, to prepare a state support mechanism for Ukraine's publishing sector. Despite the constraints on our budget, the Government will find a way to support Ukrainian publishers. We must help them restore operations, replenish public library collections, and preserve the strength of Ukraine's publishing industry.
