Quote: "The FactorDruk printing house has been reconstructed. A year ago, a Russian attack destroyed the printing house in Kharkiv. I remember when Serhii Polituchyi brought burnt children's books – the same ones my daughter reads – and it just broke my heart. I still keep them as a reminder of Russia's attacks on our culture."

Details: Svyrydenko noted that the printing house was restored with the support of the Howard Buffett Foundation.

Background: After the attack on the FactorDruk printing house in Kharkiv on 23 May 2024, more than 50,000 books were destroyed, and at least three publishing houses were damaged: Vivat, KSD ("Family Leisure Club") and Ranok.
