Mashable has reached out to Airbnb for further comment and what this means for the company.
The move comes after efforts from the company to support Ukrainian refugees, with Airbnb offering free, short-term housing to 100,000 Ukrainians in need. Airbnb joined forces with humanitarian organization HIAS,which is closely monitoring the situation in Ukraine on ground and offering help to those who are being displaced amid Russia's invasion. More than 1 million Ukrainians have left their country in the midst of war, according to the U.N.
Meanwhile, people on Facebook and Twitter have said they've found another way to use Airbnb as a way to financially support Ukrainians, by booking local stays in the country, without actually staying in them.
