great prices for AirBnBs in Ukraine
I see that many Israelis (and people from the USA and maybe other countries, though I do not know where it began) have found an interesting way to send some support directly to Ukrainians suffering due to the war - to the average Joesky rather than or in addition to, a relief fund of some sort.
People are booking AirBnB rentals in the Ukraine and sending a note that they obviously will not be going there on vacation and staying in the rental but are just booking and paying the rental to show support and send money. All reports I have seen suggest the Ukrainian recipients of this support have been very grateful, some offering to reserve the reservation should the renter want to actually use it after this is all over. It is a very nice gesture and a ccool way to send support.
I would hope that AirBnB will announce that they are waiving their fees at this time for such rentals so the AirBnB owners can get the entire sum as financial support intended for them.

So this is a great way to support people that need it, but be careful when giving
