What’s happening on and off the Hill today, plus the news you need to start your day.
In what will almost certainly be one of his final laps on the international diplomatic circuit before ceding his position to his still-to-be-chosen successor, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau starts the week in Kyiv, where he’ll “mark the third anniversary of Russia’s invasion” of Ukraine alongside other world leaders, Canadian Press reports.
“The visitors arrived by train in Kyiv and were greeted at the station by Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha and the president’s chief of staff Andrii Yermak,” and Trudeau “received a quick hug and a handshake from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy just prior to the conference beginning,” the wire service notes.
