The Ranok Publishing House has estimated the recovery time following the Russian Federation's attack
The Kharkiv-based publishing house “Ranok,” whose warehouses were destroyed by a Russian attack on August 1, may take up to five years to fully recover.
“The day after the massive fire, we convened a crisis response team. Rescue workers were still battling the fire. It was only fully extinguished on the seventh day after the fire broke out <…> According to our estimates, full recovery will take at least 3–5 years,” the statement reads.
According to Kruglov, the company managed to save files and book layouts in the “cloud,” and the team suffered no losses.
The publishing house is currently working to ensure that schoolchildren have textbooks. Deliveries to schools from reserve warehouses continue uninterrupted. To date, seven printing houses have agreed to urgently reprint 620,000 textbooks.
To optimize expenses, employee salaries will be temporarily reduced. Some landlords have agreed to lower warehouse rental rates. Negotiations with banks regarding loans are ongoing.
“So far, without success. Banks are not interested in future books and intellectual property rights as collateral. This is a huge problem that needs to be brought to the government level,” noted the head of “Rank.”
In addition, the publishing house is working to diversify its book delivery and storage routes.
As previously reported, on August 1 in Kharkiv, as a result of a Russian attack, the warehouses of the RNK-Ranok corporation caught fire; books belonging to “Ranok” itself, as well as those from the “Knigoland” bookstore chain and publishers “Readberry,” "Georges," "Fabula," and others were destroyed.
Viktor Kruglov, chairman of the supervisory board of the RNK-Ranok corporation, reported this on Facebook.
Following the Russian Federation’s strike on the warehouse, the Ranok publishing house is urgently reprinting the destroyed textbooks.
In Kyiv, the Russian Federation’s shelling damaged the logistics center of the “Ranok” publishing house.
Russia cynically referred to the massive attack on Ukraine as a “retaliatory strike.”
Due to the Russian attack in the Lviv region, more than 21,000 customers were left without power
As a reminder, overnight, the Air Defense Forces managed to neutralize 693 aerial targets, including 41 missiles and 652 unmanned aerial vehicles of various types.
