Kyrilo Budanov, head of the Office of the President, spoke on the occasion of the start of 33-th BookForum in Lviv.
He emphasized that, despite the war and Russia's attempts to destroy Ukrainian culture, publishing houses, printing houses, and bookstores continue to operate in Ukraine, new books are being released, and the reading audience is growing.
“Russian terror will not break our book,” Budanov stressed.
Separately, the head of the Office noted Ukrainian soldiers who are becoming authors and leaving honest testimonies about the war, personal experience, and Ukraine’s struggle.
According to Budanov, as long as Ukrainian books and Ukrainian readers exist, it is the Ukrainians who will determine how their history will be written.
