The British The Sun posted a material of the service, which tells about how the British began to fictitiously book apartments in Ukraine, despite the fact that they do not plan to go there. As it turned out, this is done to help Ukrainians, or in modern language through Airbnb began to conduct a campaign to collect donations for this country.
The campaign was launched on social media by a quentquarantino user: “I decided to support Ukraine by booking a room at Airbnb,” he said. According to the publication, “this has allowed to directly donate more than 1.5 million pounds to people living in this country.”
Reservations come mainly from the United States and Canada, as well as the United Kingdom. According to representatives of the service, the letters in response are “very touching.” The service also claims that it has refused commissions for such bookings.
It will be recalled that on March 4, the service announced the suspension of its work in Russia, joining the sanctions. The statement on Twitter was made directly by the CEO of the American company Brian Cesky. According to experts, about 4 million users are left without the required service.
