Hollywood actress and UN Goodwill Ambassador Angelina Jolie decided to visit Western Ukraine solely on her own accord. She came to Lviv as a private person, and not as a representative of the UN, reports the Chronicle.info with reference to Focus.
At the end of April 2022, Angelina Jolie arrived in Lviv to talk with people who escaped the war. However, the UN disowned the high-profile visit, this was stated by the official representative of the organization Matt Saltmarsh.
«Angelina Jolie went to Ukraine at her own request, and the UNHCR does not take part in this visit», — the UN speaker noted in an electronic statement.
The actress visited Ukraine to see with her own eyes the Ukrainians who managed to escape from death, and listen to their stories. The star burst into tears while talking with the rescued Ukrainians.
Also, Jolie visited the wounded children in Okhmatdet, and then met the evacuation train from Pokrovsk at the Lviv railway station.
From the very beginning of the full-scale Russian military aggression on the territory of Ukraine, the Hollywood celebrity expressed support Ukrainians and helped Ukrainian refugees through The UN Refugee Agency.
