Newfoundland and Labrador prepare to host another planeload of Ukrainian refugees.
A plane carrying Ukrainians fleeing Russian-led attacks on their homeland will arrive at St. John’s International Airport on Tuesday.

It is the second plane chartered by the provincial government to take Ukrainians to Canada’s easternmost province — the first arriving on May 9 and carrying 166 refugees.
The government has said it expects today’s flight to carry about the same number of passengers.
Officials say everyone on board has a place to go and they will be transported to that accommodation after the plane lands.
Today’s airlift is expected to come from Warsaw, Poland, where the government set up a satellite office in March to help Ukrainians move to Newfoundland and Labrador.
