The unprovoked Russian invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, has turned into a bloody war with no end in sight. Towns have been brought to ruins by heavy shelling that destroyed the infrastructure. The country's cultural heritage, along with its own national identity, is under threat. Libraries, archives, museums, and monuments have become war casualties. This article examines the destruction of libraries during the first fifty days of conflict based on articles, press releases, and statements published in international media outlets and on librarians' accounts posted on social media. The loss of human lives is ongoing while millions are already in exile in neighboring countries, with no end of the conflict in sight. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
