Some French people have found an original way to support the Ukrainian population, by booking a stay in the country on the Airbnb platform. Nearly 2 million euros have thus been collected by Ukraine.
Unprecedented solidarity, to help Ukrainian civilians trapped in war, is gaining momentum on the Internet. Reservations in Ukraine are multiplying on a seasonal accommodation rental site. Céline Nézet, Parisian, has reserved an apartment in Kiev (Ukraine) for three nights that she will not be occupying, in order to make a donation. “I wanted to tell you how much your support means a lot to me. We are a family with a 5 month old little girl, and my husband is French”replied the host, Irina.
Airbnb suspends commission fees
Irina is still in Dnipro (Ukraine). During the war, she regularly rented this apartment in Kiev. Although it will probably remain unoccupied for several months, reservations are complete for the next few weeks. To support the momentum of solidarity, the Airbnb platform has suspended commission fees.
