As envoy of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, Angelina Jolie visited Lviv, in western Ukraine, where she spoke with several displaced persons and visited a hospital where children wounded during the bombing of the Kramatorsk station were kept on April 8, which left more than 50 dead civilians, according to the governor of the region Maxim Kozytski.

The same governor wrote on Telegram that “for us, this visit was a surprise”, accompanied by photos and videos of the actress playing with children and accompanying The volunteers.

Angelina Jolie loves to drink coffee in #Lviv. And what are your favorite places for coffee? 💙💛

The main purpose of her visit is to help Ukraine! Thank you for your support, Ms. Jolie, and to everyone who is with the #Ukrainian people today!

Additionally, Angelina Jolie also spoke with displaced Ukrainians who had to flee the region where the fighting takes place

and also spoke with the volunteers in charge of giving psychological help at the Lviv station.

So far, the The UN estimates that the conflict between Russia and Ukraine has caused more than five million Ukrainians to flee their country and that there are more than seven million internally displaced persons.

Angelina Jolie has not been the only celebrity to show solidarity with the Ukrainian people, because Benedict Cumberbatch announced that he will house Ukrainians who fled the war in his house.
