·The Guardian·Impact 4/5 · High

This threat to Ukraine's publishing industry is a consequence of the 2022 invasion, which sparked a publishing boom in the country. The loss of warehouses and stockpiles of books will likely have a significant impact on Ukraine's literary output and the availability of books for its readers. As a result, the country's publishing sector may face a prolonged period of disruption and instability.
