The Guardian has published an interactive report detailing how Russia's invasion is destroying Ukrainian literature, including novels incinerated in warehouses and attacks on libraries and publishing infrastructure. The piece highlights the loss of Ukrainian-language books as part of the wider cultural toll of the war. Readers are sharing the story widely, expressing alarm at what they see as deliberate cultural destruction alongside military casualties.
