Trudeau is planning to visit a temporary shelter for refugees as part of his day in Warsaw, Poland.
He is also to meet with the country’s prime minister and president as the Russian invasion of Ukraine continues.

It’s Trudeau’s final stop on his four-country tour of Europe this week to speak with allies about how to ramp up the pressure on Russian President Vladimir Putin’s regime.
He met Wednesday with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and their talks focused on the need for an immediate ceasefire in Ukraine and a desire to end the war without further escalation.
Trudeau also announced Wednesday that Canada would send another $50 million in specialized equipment, including Canadian-made cameras for surveillance drones, to help Ukraine defend itself against the Russian invasion.
