The Russian invasion of Ukraine, which began on February 24, 2022, has forced many Ukrainians and foreigners residing in Ukraine to evacuate to neighboring countries such as Poland, Hungary, Moldova and Romania. On February 28, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi said on Twitter that 'more than 500,000 people are currently fleeing Ukraine to neighboring countries,' and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). Expects refugees to reach up to 4 million if things get worse.

Meanwhile, humanitarian non-profit organization Airbnb.org has announced that it will provide free short-term housing to up to 100,000 refugees fleeing Ukraine. This support will be funded by Airbnb funds, donations made to Airbnb.org, and the favor of hosts who provide housing through Airbnb.org.

Prior to this, Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky, Airbnb.org Chairman Joe Gebbia, Airbnb Chief Strategy Officer Nathan Breharchik and others all over Europe, including countries such as Poland, Germany, Hungary and Romania. We sent letters to leaders and leaders informing them that Airbnb would accept refugees within their borders. This project will basically provide short-term housing, but in some cases it will work closely with the government to support the needs of each country, such as supporting long-term stays.

Airbnb, which has long provided housing to people who have lost their homes due to hurricanes and forest fires, has been on the front lines of workers and nature due to the pandemic of the new coronavirus infection (COVID-19) that occurred in 2020. Airbnb.org was established to provide comprehensive housing support to disaster victims. Airbnb.org's efforts also extend to refugees and asylum seekers, announcing that it will provide homes to 20,000 Afghan refugees in 2021.
