"Some offices" understates it a bit, just under half their workforce is in Ukraine according to their careers pages.

EDIT: I misread it, it's most of their workforce.

Wow, 1700 teammates in Ukraine vs 40 in the US (according to their site). Didn't know it was such a stark difference.

Oh, I misread the page! I thought it was 2000 in the US, but that's the year their offices were established. That means the large majority of their workforce is Ukrainian.
