One Ukrainian user made a summary of today's day in Ukraine. And this happens every day all over the country. Don't look away, spread the info, donate🙏
I can't just as always go to work, because it's air raid alert after air raid alert, explosion after explosion.
Damn r*ssians want us d e a d. They strike our homes, schools and hospitals. Today they destroyed children hospital in Kyiv. There are news about people under the rubble. My friend texted me that she has a concussion after the explosion near her house. Bad news after the bad news.
I don't remember what it's like to have a normal day.
Since the beginning of the year, more than 700 libraries have been destroyed or damaged in Ukraine.
Russia struck Ukraine’s major printing press, Faktor-Druk in Kharkiv, killing at least 5 employees among the 7 dead & 20 injured. Kharkiv is the heart of Ukraine’s publishing industry. This attack on culture underscores the genocidal nature of Russia’s war. Factor-print was bombed exactly one week before the Book Arsenal (book festival), just when dozens of publishing novelties were being rushed to print. The bombing was aimed at preventing these books from being published, at preventing Ukrainians from having book fairs - for a quarter of a century, the Russians had managed to silence them using other methods, and now that they have started to find their feet, they are using bombs and missiles. And all for the sake of the "great Russian culture". Forcing people to read this literature because of the absence of destroyed Ukrainian literature. My deepest condolences to the families of the victims and to the Vivat publishing house (the bookshop belongs to them).
Burning Ukrainian books isn't enough for russians, they are bombing printing houses.
This is Factor Druk, one of the largest full-cycle printing houses both in Ukraine and in Europe (located in Kharkiv), where a lot of Ukrainian publishing houses print their books. And today russia bombed it. There are injured and killed.
After reading this horrible news, I went to my bookshelf, and the first comic I picked up was printed by Factor Druk. And you know what's fucking ironic?
It was one of Atla comics.
I have a collection of all Atla comics that are already published in Ukraine, and apparently they were printed by Factor Druk.
I'm sitting here completely devastated, holding these comics like the biggest treasure in the world.
