On the night of July 2, russia carried out yet another terrorist attack on Ukrainian cities, with the main strike targeting Kyiv. As Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated on his Twitter page, “Damage has been reported at more than 20 sites across the city, most of them ordinary residential buildings. There was also damage to an ambulance station, a research institute, a hotel, and businesses.” Among the destroyed buildings is the central warehouse of Denka Logistics, the logistics partner of the Ukrainian publishing house BookChef. Unfortunately, as a result of the attack, most of the print run – approximately 800,000 books – was lost.
This was reported on the publisher’s social media pages. “These are books that authors, translators, editors, illustrators, designers, printers, managers, and logistics specialists worked on. They represent years of work by a large number of people. Most importantly: all our people are alive. That is what we are holding on to right now,” the publisher’s statement reads. “We are temporarily suspending all promotions with our partner stores until the number of reprints stabilizes.”
“For the time being, we are unable to accept, process, and ship orders as usual,” said BookChef CEO Alexander Kirpichov on the company’s Facebook page. “This may cause difficulties and delays, even with new print runs of books. We ask for your patience and understanding as we work to get our logistics back on track.”
The publishing house emphasized that, despite everything, they will continue to operate, publish new books, invest in the development of the Ukrainian book market, and support the country’s economy. “The best way to support and help us right now is simple: buy our books,” BookChef concluded. “Every order is a real contribution to replenishing our stock and ensuring that Ukrainian books continue to be published, no matter what. The online store is operating as usual.”

“In total, Russia launched more than 70 missiles of various types against Ukraine overnight, nearly half of them ballistic missiles, along with almost 500 attack drones, including jet-powered “shaheds”, noted Volodymyr Zelenskyy, adding that Ukrainian air defenders managed to shoot down a significant number of the incoming targets, but not all of them. Therefore, he identified the supply of air defense systems to Ukraine and the implementation of agreements on the production of anti-ballistic missiles as the top priority and a critical issue.
