At the invitation of the European Publishers Association of the Frankfurt Book Fair, which at its first post-pandemic edition was deeply affected by the war in Ukraine, the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky sent a four-minute, combative video message. An event that has never happened before in the history of the book fair. Sitting behind a large desk in a dark green military T-shirt, Zelenskij regretted that there were still too many people in the West for whom the primary concern in this conflict was to understand Russia.
