It was previously reported that the Ukrainian book market is facing a double blow: against the backdrop of declining demand, the industry is suffering direct losses due to Russian attacks. Publishers are losing warehouses and print runs, and are forced to restructure their logistics, revise investment plans, and scale back publishing programs.
In early 2026, the book market was already facing a decline in demand due to some Ukrainians leaving the country and a drop in the population’s purchasing power. Russian shelling is further exacerbating the situation, creating new risks to the industry’s stability.
This was reported by Dmytro Feliksov, founder of the Readeat bookstore chain and the "BookTicket" service.
A Russian strike destroyed BookChef’s reserve warehouse, which held 100,000 books.
Following the Russian strike on the warehouse, the Ranok publishing house is urgently reprinting the destroyed textbooks.
In Kyiv, a Russian shelling attack damaged the logistics center of the “Ranok” publishing house.
Russia cynically called the massive attack on Ukraine a “retaliatory strike.”
