The money is meant to fund the defense against Russia not to get books published. And it's not money being spent inside the Ukrainian economy, at least not most of it. A lot of it isn't money being given to them but weapons being sent. The figures are based on the amount of money being allocated by the state to use to buy weapons to send them. So unless they sell the weapons that money isn't going to trickle anywhere.
