Angelina Jolie visited Kherson as part of a UNICEF charity program

American actress Angelina Jolie, also serving as a UNICEF goodwill ambassador, visited Kherson as part of a charitable program. During the visit, the actress inspected the city’s medical facilities, including a maternity hospital and a children’s hospital. This visit was one of the stages of her return to Ukraine after the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion.

Jolie’s Previous Visits to Ukraine

In the spring of 2022, Jolie had already visited Ukraine when, as an ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, she visited Lviv. At that time, the actress managed to meet with refugees, medical workers, and volunteers working in the conditions of military conflict.

Jolie’s visits to Ukraine highlight her constant attention to humanitarian issues, which have become especially relevant in the context of the ongoing crisis.

Incidents During the Visit

The current visit of the actress was not without incidents. As reported by Insider UA, upon entering Kherson at a checkpoint, Jolie’s convoy encountered unexpected difficulties. One of the actress’s guards was unable to provide all the necessary documents, which led to the need to stop the entire convoy, including Jolie’s vehicle.

Arising Problems

It turned out that the man was a reserve officer of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Due to this situation, the convoy was forced to go to the territorial recruitment center for information clarification.

After the necessary verification and clarification of circumstances, the actress’s convoy continued its journey through the city. This case serves as a reminder of how complex the situation remains in Ukraine and how humanitarian missions can face unforeseen difficulties.
