Kyiv; he is now enlisted in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. He is the

author of nine books; selected essays and excerpts from his books have

been translated into ten languages. He has participated in literary

residencies in Finland, Latvia, Iceland, the USA and France, and a

virtual residency at Oxford University. He has written for publications

including The Financial Times, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung and The

Guardian, and has appeared as a guest on CNN and NPR. He is a member of

At relatively short notice, we're organising two events in Ukraine in

the last week of January. Lviv (part 2) and Kyiv. The event we ran in

August 2023 was a huge success, and had a great impact. Now our aim is

even more ambitious. Two cities. Two events. Multiple panels consisting

of the best experts, and all filmed in high definition for the channel.

But it costs. Last time the overall cost was £3,500 for Live in Lviv,

and we covered 80% of this through ticket sales. This time the costs are

higher, and there's less opportunity to sell tickets at the available

venues and studios, so I'm creating a campaign to raise £5,000 to make

this trip a reality. We also have a much more ambitious programme to

film interviews around Kyiv and Lviv for the channel. This project will

have an impact, so please help if you can.
