Ben recently visited Ukrainian refugees at the Polish border.
The Hollywood star also shared his experience on social media.
The actor wrote on Twitter: "Just arrived in Poland, ahead of #WorldRefugeeDay with @Refugees to meet people who's lives have been impacted by the war in #Ukraine.
"At the Medyka border in Poland I met families who fled the war in Ukraine, leaving loved ones behind, with no idea when they will be able to return home. I'm so impressed w/ @refugees representatives and how committed they are to supporting people on their journeys. #WithRefugees (sic)"

I hope you'll follow along and share your own messages of support, for people who have fled their homes in Ukraine and for people who have been forced to flee all over the world."
