In March, bulldozers dug trenches in an unused field, in the city of Chernihiv, in northern Ukraine. By that point, Chernihiv had been under effective blockade for more than two weeks, with most buildings left without electricity, heat, or water. Roads and bridges leading out of town had either been bombed or were now the site of active battles between Russian and Ukrainian forces. All the while, the Russian military pummelled Chernihiv with bombing raids and missile fire, turning a locked-in city into an urban death trap. As many as fifty people were killed each day, struck down while in line for food or huddling in their apartments.
On 6 March 2022, during the Siege of Chernihiv and the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the library was damaged. Then, on or about 10-11 March 2022, the library was destroyed partly and turned into ruins, possibly due to the point of destruction.
