Google will use office space in Poland to support Ukrainian refugees

People fleeing the Russian invasion of Ukraine wait to board a bus during snowfall after crossing the border from Ukraine to Poland at the border checkpoint in Medyka, Poland, March 7, 2022.

The company announced Monday that it will use office space and offer other resources in Poland to Ukrainian refugees.

The company will use its Warsaw campus to provide legal and psychological services to refugees. Local organizations helping Ukrainian refugees in Poland will get $10 million from the $25 million in aid promised by Google last week. It said it is helping to protect from cyberattacks.

As the needs of those affected by the war change, we will be looking at other ways in which we can help.

Major companies have supported Ukrainian refugees since the war began. 100,000 Ukrainian refugees will be housed by Airbnb, and free rides between the Ukraine-Poland border will be offered by Uber.

15 years ago, Google opened its first office in Poland, in Warsaw. $700 million will be invested in the purchase and development of a new office complex in Warsaw.
