The Russian-Ukrainian War has had a significant impact on Ukrainian libraries, particularly in the Eastern regions of Ukraine that have been directly affected by the conflict. The Russian aggression has caused significant damage to library infrastructure, collections, and services, and has disrupted the overall functioning of the library system in Ukraine. In this paper, we provide an overview of the situation with the Ukrainian libraries during the Russian-Ukrainian War, as well as a review of the risks Ukrainian librarians face on a daily basis.
