Russians destroy publisher's warehouse again
A warehouse in Kyiv's Podilskyi district belonging to the #knygolove publishing house has been destroyed as a result of a Russian attack on the night of 6-7 October.
Source: #knygolove on Telegram
Details: The warehouse contained #knygolove books which had been reprinted after Russia's first strike on its warehouses in July.
It is not yet possible to assess the extent of the damage or determine how many books have been destroyed, as staff are not able to enter the warehouse for the moment. "But we can say for certain that tens of thousands of books have been lost," #knygolove said, adding that none of its employees were injured.
Quote: "This is a real blow for us. These are books that we created, printed and prepared for you. New releases that we managed to receive over the last two months, and reprints of books destroyed by Russia in July, which we were looking forward to, just as you were."
Details: The publishing house vowed to keep working and gradually get back on its feet.
