Uber will offer free rides between Ukraine-Poland border and two Polish cities

People carry bags at the border crossing between Poland and Ukraine, as Polish Border Guards close lanes for vehicles to allow more pedestrian traffic, after Russia launched a massive military operation against Ukraine, in Medyka, Poland, February 26, 2022.

The company said it would be offering free rides between Poland and Ukraine.

There is a code that can be entered to get to the southeastern cities of Lublin or Rzeszow.

It is part of a larger set of initiatives that was announced Wednesday.

The company said in a release that they are partnering with NGOs to support relief efforts on the ground.

U.S. riders will be able to make donations to the International Rescue Committee with an in-app donation button later this week. The company will match donations up to $1 million. The feature will be rolled out to other countries.

Shortly after the Russian invasion, the company paused services in the country. The company said it is assessing how to restore its services on a city-by-city basis.

The company has provided advance payments to its drivers in Ukraine and is trying to find a way for Ukrainian refugees to work on the platform in other countries.
