Since the start of the full-scale invasion, 770 libraries have been destroyed or damaged, according to the Ministry of Culture and Strategic Communications of Ukraine. The ministry noted that the full-scale invasion put thousands of Ukrainian cultural heritage sites at risk, including unique library collections and archives. "The enemy is deliberately and purposefully destroying them, stealing priceless evidence of our ancient history, attempting to erase the identity of the Ukrainian people. Since the beginning of the war, Russians have destroyed or damaged 770 libraries. And this is not only a loss of books but also a threat to national memory, cultural continuity, and citizens' access to knowledge," the message reads.
