5/24/2024 — Russia continues the genocide. They are trying to exterminate our culture.

Today’s picture – the books consumed by fire as a result of the missile attack. For some reason, seeing burning books brings forth a different kind of pain. Photos shared by Kharkiv officials.

‭Let them be put to shame and confusion who seek my life!
Let them be turned back and brought to dishonor who delight in my hurt!
Psalm 70:2

Russia continues the genocide. They are trying to exterminate our culture. They kill our writers. They destroy our publishing companies. They have been doing this for centuries, and they still do it today.

Today, two high-precision missiles hit a publishing house in Kharkiv, killing seven people and injuring over a dozen. There were no military objects nearby, but there was a threat to Russia. They want to send us back to barbaric times with no electricity and no books, but it’s not going to happen. Culture and scientific development were brought to the Russian Empire from Ukraine, not the other way around, so we can and will replenish everything they destroy.

The only thing we can’t bring back is people. Today, they announced that a 4-year-old girl who was injured in Odesa on April 29th died in a hospital. A shell fragment was stuck in her heart and finally took her life.
