Angelina Jolie visited Ukraine — the actress did not come to a rear city, but to Kherson itself.
UATV English reports on it, referring to former member of the Kherson City Council Vitalii Bohdanov.
The famous Hollywood star arrived as part of a charity program to help war victims. During her visit, Jolie has already visited several local medical facilities.
The published photos show the actress spending time with children in a shelter, supporting them and trying to bring them some joy despite the difficult conditions.
This is not the first time Angelina Jolie has shown her support for Ukraine. Back in 2014, she spoke of her solidarity and prayed for peace, and in April 2022, she personally visited Lviv. There, she attended a coffee shop in Lviv, a hospital for children affected by shelling and explosions, and a center for children and young people with disabilities. Jolie spoke with evacuated families and volunteers, including children who were injured during a rocket attack on the train station in Kramatorsk, and was moved by their stories.
As a UNHCR Special Envoy, the actress continues to draw the world’s attention to the humanitarian situation in Ukraine.
Moreover, in her Instagram post in June 2023, she called on the international community to help Ukrainians directly through local non-governmental organizations.
Jolie stressed that Ukrainian NGOs receive a meager share of international donations and that the model for distributing aid must change so that more funds go directly to those working on the ground.
Prior to this, the actress had already supported Ukrainian refugee children in Rome by visiting the Bambino Gesu hospital, where children forced to leave their homes due to the full-scale invasion of the Russian army are being treated.
