That's unfortunate. I thought Mila was Ukrainian so she'd do the right thing here.

Rich people are garbage.

It’s not quite as simple as OP is making it out. I usually love messy posts that are built on fabrications and agendas but…not about war refugees.

Have no clue what Flexport is but a lot of people are just renting out airbnbs in Ukraine not to stay in but to make sure the Ukranian owner of the property can have some income in these times and it's a wonderful idea. However, I think they should have been more transparent about where the money was going.

In the first video they do actually address where the money was going.

Really? Thank you for this update because I didn't watch it. This is looking more and more like a wank post so I'll see myself out.

Through GoFundMe.org, this fundraiser will provide an immediate impact on refugee and humanitarian aid efforts. The fund will benefit Flexport.org and Airbnb.org, two organizations who are actively on the ground providing immediate help to those who need it most.
Flexport.org is organizing shipments of relief supplies to refugee sites in Poland, Romania, Hungary, Slovakia and Moldova.
Airbnb.org is providing free, short-term housing to refugees fleeing Ukraine.

^literally what was posted in the first video.

It does seem like wank as you said. That or ONTD doesn't read, listen, or have good memory 🤔

Oh wow, and to think Zelenskyy even thanked them personally :(

Will the money still be helping people at least?

[acidosaur]

yes, as per the caption:

Is Airbnb taking a percentage from the "donations" people made to Ukrainians for stays that didn't even occur or fake future stays?

[acidosaur]

they donated to the Airbnb foundation, which is separate from the company

Many celebrities are shitty but this has to be one of the grimiest things I've heard in a long ass time.
