The event, called the High-Level International Donors’ Conference for Ukraine, will take place at the National Stadium in the Polish capital.
It will be co-hosted by Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki and his Swedish counterpart Magdalena Andersson, according to officials.
They are expected to be joined by the head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, and the president of the European Council, Charles Michel.
The conference is seeking donations from countries and will feature many international leaders, either in person or online, according to officials.
Polish Deputy Foreign Minister Paweł Jabłoński told reporters ahead of the conference that “at least a dozen delegations will come" to Warsaw.
Poland’s foreign ministry said in a statement last month that "participation will be based on early confirmation of the intention to make a substantial financial pledge in response to Ukraine’s needs.”
Jabłoński said the aim of the conference was to raise as much money as possible for direct humanitarian support to Ukraine.
A previous such event in Warsaw in April helped collect over EUR 10 billion for Poland’s war-torn eastern neighbour.
Thursday is day 71 of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
