Millions of Ukrainian books incinerated in Russian drone strike — as Vladimir Putin looks to wipe out Ukraine’s culture, identity

Russian drone strikes have incinerated over 1.5 million Ukrainian books, according to the Ukrainian Book Institute. These attacks on the Ukrainian book industry are viewed as part of a Kremlin campaign to destroy the country's national identity and culture. This destruction of cultural assets may signal a strategic shift, potentially complicating Ukraine's efforts and impacting military dynamics as Russia continues its targeted strikes against the nation's cultural heritage and identity in the ongoing conflict.
