3. Great idea but I read on either NY Times or WAPO that Airbnb blocked it. Airbnb was instead ...

opening up housing to refugees for free in, I believe, Poland.

4. The Ukrainians of Kiev still need money. The price of everything has skyrocketed.

This puts money in the Kiev Airbnb owner's pockets, wherever he or she may be. I have not seen anything about Airbnb blocking it. They are taking donations. https://www.airbnb.org/help-ukraine?locale=en&_ga=2.168114210.2054048869.1646616744-871609255.1646616744

And though there may be some free Airbnb rooms in Poland, there are hundreds of thousands, maybe millions, of displaced people in Ukraine whose villages and apartment buildings have been blown up. They are making their way to Kiev, hoping to get on a train out of the country.
