Ukraine Airbnb bookings: Users paying for stays to help hosts

FOX NEWS - Airbnb users found another way to give back to Ukrainians as the conflict with Russia continues – they're booking stays.Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky tweeted Thursday that users are booking stays in Ukraine that "they don’t intend to stay in" just so they can funnel money directly to hosts whose country has been under attack by Russian forces since last week. Since the war erupted, Airbnb has temporarily waived all guest and host fees on all bookings in Ukraine. This means that Airbnb is not profiting from any stays in the country.

McDonald's, PepsiCo urged to cease Russia operations by NY pension fund

McDonald's, PepsiCo and others to consider pausing or ending business operations in Russia amid the country's ongoing invasion of Ukraine.The fund's trustee, New York State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli, warned in a series of letters that companies who continue to operate in Russia and invest in Russian assets "face significant and growing legal, compliance, operational, human rights and personnel, and reputational risks." "Pausing or ending McDonald’s business operations in Russia would address various investment risks associated with the Russian market and play an important role in condemning Russia’s role in fundamentally undermining the international order that is vital to a strong and healthy global economy," DiNapoli wrote in a letter addressed to McDonald's CEO Chris Kempczinski reviewed by FOX Business. The comptroller's office estimates that the $280 billion fund has about $110.8 million in public equity investments, including direct holdings and co-mingled funds in Russian companies. The New York Common Retirement Fund's stakes in McDonald's and PepsiCo were valued at approximately $410 million and $501 million, respectively, as of the end of 2021, according to its latest 13F filing.McDonald's has a total of 847 restaurant locations in Russia and 108 locations in Ukraine.

Stoli rebrands vodka after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine

KIEV, UKRAINE - 2018/09/26: Bottles of Stolichnaya vodka, manufactured by the SPI Group seen on the store shelf. (Photo by Igor Golovniov/SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images) Stoli Group announced that it's rebranding the name of its vodka, Stolichnaya, "in direct response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine." The vodka will now be marketed as "Stoli," according to the company, which has tried to distance itself from the protests against Russian-branded vodka. The company's product is manufactured and bottled in Latvia, according to its website. RELATED: Boycotting vodka: Here's what you should know as businesses dump the alcohol amid the Russian invasionStoli Group, which was founded by Yuri Shefler, said its decision to rebrand was driven by Shefler's "vehement position on the Putin regime; the Stoli employees determination to take action; and the desire to accurately represent Stoli's roots in Latvia." Concerns are soaring over Russia's conflict with Ukraine, including fears of a full-fledged invasion."While I have been exiled from Russia since 2000 due to my opposition to Putin, I have remained proud of the Stolichnaya brand," Shefler said in a statement.RELATED: Vodka company promotes ‘American Stallion,’ calls for rebranding Moscow Mule amid Russia’s invasion of UkraineAs Russia's invasion of Ukraine intensified, so did the boycott against vodka.

Pain at the pump: Gas prices rising to levels not seen for over a decade; here's what you need to know

A driver returns a fuel nozzle to a gas pump at a gas station (Photographer: David Paul Morris/Bloomberg via Getty Images) PHOENIX - Americans are feeling the impact of the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war as gas prices are rising to levels not seen for over a decade, according to officials with AAA.Here's what you need to know as drivers continue to feel the pain at the pump.According to the AAA website, the national average price for a gallon of regular is $4.065, as of March 7.However, not all states are paying the same price for gas. Drivers in Texas, for example, can expect to pay around $3.73 per gallon of regular gas, while drivers in California can expect to pay around $5.34 for each gallon of regular, the most expensive in the U.S."It’s unfortunate we’re seeing prices as high as they are because it’s really impacting a lot of families," said Aldo Vasquez with AAA Arizona.During the same time in 2021, officials with AAA say the national average price for a gallon of regular is $2.76.The highest recorded average price for a gallon of regular, according to AAA officials, was $4.114 in July 2008.According to a statement issued by AAA officials on March 7, crude prices are soaring because of the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, and that is translating to higher gas prices."It’s definitely one of the stronger stressors on the global oil market at this point, and as long as this conflict continues, it’s likely we’re going to see these prices go up," said Vasquez.Despite the announcement of a coordinated release of crude oil from strategic reserves of the U.S.

Ukraine has made a ‘desperate’ plea for warplanes amid Russian invasion. Here’s why

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy made a “desperate” plea to the United States to help Kyiv get more warplanes to fight Russia’s invasion and retain control of its airspace.U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken says Washington has given a “green light” to the idea and is currently “very, very actively” looking at a proposal under which Ukraine’s neighbour Poland would supply Kyiv with Soviet-era fighters and in turn receive American F-16s to make up for their loss.However, the proposition is fraught with uncertainty and Poland has been less than enthusiastic about it in public, largely because Russia has warned that supporting Ukraine’s air force would be seen in Moscow as participating in the conflict and open up suppliers to possible retaliation.

Putin miscalculated if he thinks West will move on after Ukraine invasion: ambassador

Russian President Vladimir Putin has made a “miscalculation” if he thinks the West will move on from his unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, says Canada’s ambassador to the sovereign democracy.In an interview with The West Block guest host Eric Sorenson, Larisa Galadza spoke from Poland where the ambassador and Canada’s diplomatic staff are operating amid the Russian invasion of Ukraine.Galadza and the Canadian embassy staff had been based in Kyiv before relocating to the western Ukrainian city of Lviv as the invasion began, and subsequently left the country for Poland.“It’s like a sea of humanity. It’s people standing in lineups, many of them on foot, but a lot of them are still in cars coming over the border,” Galadza said in describing Ukrainians fleeing their country.She said any assumptions on the part of Putin that the West will move on or get over his invasion of Ukraine is just “another miscalculation.”“It’s not the first miscalculation, I think, that Russia has made,” she added.“The response that we’re seeing from our like-minded governments, the response that we’re seeing from Ukrainians themselves, is unprecedented.”Some 1.2 million Ukrainians have been forced to flee as a result of the first land war on the European continent since the Second World War.

World's COVID-19 death toll nears 6 million

BANGKOK (AP) - The official global death toll from COVID-19 is on the verge of eclipsing 6 million — underscoring that the pandemic, now in its third year, is far from over.The milestone is the latest tragic reminder of the unrelenting nature of the pandemic even as people are shedding masks, travel is resuming and businesses are reopening around the globe. The death toll, compiled by Johns Hopkins University, stood at 5,996,882 as of Sunday morning and was expected to pass the 6 million mark later in the day.Remote Pacific islands, whose isolation had protected them for more than two years, are just now grappling with their first outbreaks and deaths, fueled by the highly contagious omicron variant.Hong Kong, which is seeing deaths soar, is testing its entire population of 7.5 million three times this month as it clings to mainland China’s "zero-COVID" strategy.As death rates remain high in Poland, Hungary, Romania and other Eastern European countries, the region has seen more than 1 million refugees arrive from war-torn Ukraine, a country with poor vaccination coverage and high rates of cases and deaths.And despite its wealth and vaccine availability, the United States is nearing 1 million reported deaths on its own.A nurse checks on a patient in the ICU Covid-19 ward at NEA Baptist Memorial Hospital in Jonesboro, Arkansas, U.S., on Wednesday, Aug.

Americans see biggest single-day jump in gas prices in years

climbed 23 cents nationwide over the course of the week despite efforts by several governments to quell the rise in oil.Friday's prices, up 11 cents from Thursday, marked the single largest day increase, since 2016, according to AAA data. The average price of a regular gallon of gasoline increased to $3.84, which steadily climbed over the week from $3.61 on Monday, according to AAA data.Prices are up $1.08 compared to this time last year, inching closer to costing $4 on average for a regular gallon of gasoline. However, the last time the national average price for a gallon of regular gasoline hit that mark was in 2008, when prices notched to $4.11, according to AAA. There have been widespread fears that sanctions placed on Russia would threaten the global oil market, already facing a tight supply, and eventually drive up gas prices for U.S. motorists.
