This is part of Russia's ongoing destruction of printing houses in Kharkiv and other Ukrainian cities. Kharkiv printing houses produce a significant percentage of all books in Ukraine, including textbooks for Ukrainian children. By attacking these printing houses, Russia is attacking Ukraine's education system. We will not allow Russia to succeed
