The company is giving away free rides between the Poland-Ukraine border and two Polish cities.
In a statement on its website on February 27, the company said that each code is valid for two rides.
Only the Polish cities of Lublin or Rzeszow can be used with the codes. They are valid until March 12.
The company said in a separate statement on March that they are providing free trips between the Ukrainian border and Polish cities to support refugees and their families, as well as free transportation for staff at Migrant Welcome Centers and for the delivery of goods to NGOs in Poland.
According to the United Nations, at least 505,500 refugees have entered Poland since the beginning of the year.
Poland shares a border with eight countries. Thousands of foreign and local refugees have gathered at these crossing in the last few days to escape the war in Russia.
Lublin and Rzeszow are two major Polish cities that are close to the border.
In response to the Russian invasion, the ride-hailing app announced several other initiatives, including an in-app donation button for riders in the US to send money to the International Rescue Committee. Insider did not get a response from the company.
Russian forces have advanced slowly on multiple fronts in Ukraine as local troops and armed civilians, led by President Volodymyr Zelensky, continue to put up stiff resistance. According to reports, the Kremlin captured Kherson, its first major city in Ukraine, six days after announcing its offensive.
