American writer Ryan Holiday
American writer and media strategist Ryan Holiday has announced that he is donating all royalties from his book sales in Ukraine to the Come Back Alive Foundation.
The publishing house "Nash Format" reports this.
What is the solution?
Business literature author and marketer Ryan Holiday announced that he has been directing all royalties and profits from Ukrainian translations of his works to the Come Back Alive Foundation since the onset of the full-scale war
How does it work?
In the post, Holiday shared a photo of Ukrainian soldier Konstiantyn Ulianov reading his book "Courage is Calling. Fate Favors the Brave."
"This photo of a soldier in Ukraine reading "Courage is Calling" was sent to me by my publisher. Three years of confrontation with Russia is almost incomprehensible, and the fact that their publishing houses are still publishing and printing books? I don't even know how to comprehend it.
Anyway, as I have been since the beginning of the war, I am donating all my fees and advances from Ukraine to the Come Back Alive fund, which finances bulletproof vests, equipment, training, and much more for the soldiers defending Ukraine," Ryan Holiday wrote.
The American urged his readers to also donate to this charitable fund.

As reported, in 2023, Timothy Snyder and four fellow professors from different universities raised funds for an air target identification system to help the Air Force of Ukraine's armed forces.
