February 24, 2026, marks the fourth anniversary of Russia's attack on Ukraine. We are deeply disturbed by the ongoing hostilities and urge everyone not to forget the suffering of the people. “Stay by our side,” urges Peace Prize winner Serhiy Zhadan. Join us in showing solidarity with our Ukrainian colleagues through initiatives and offers of help.

Posters, Social Media Motifs and Book List

Give Ukrainian authors a voice and inform your customers about Ukraine with book tables and shop windows. Members of Börsenverein can now order the DIN A2 poster „Recht auf Frieden“ (Right to Freedom) free of charge using the book marketing form. In addition, various social media motifs and print data are still available for download. Furthermore, the IG Meinungsfreiheit has compiled the current book list „Stay by our side“ based on Serhij Zhadan's appeal, which offers a wide selection for your bookstore.
