Angelina Jolie is in Ukraine as UN Special Envoy

Actress Angelina Jolie traveled to Ukraine as a special envoy for the UN refugee agency (UNHCR), according to information from the CNN Portugal .

The American actress was spotted inside a cafe in Lviv and greeted the person making her video there. She also smiled, greeted the people who were in the establishment and signed some autographs. It was also a train station to meet some people displaced by the war with Russia.

During her visit to the station, Jolie met volunteers working with the displaced, who told her that each psychiatrist on duty spoke to about 15 people a day. Many of those at the station are children aged two to 10, according to volunteers.

“They must be in shock… I know how trauma affects kids, I know just having someone show them how much they matter, how much their voices matter, I know how beneficial that is for them,” she said in response.

At one point during her visit to the station, she tickled a little girl dressed in red, who giggled in delight. She also posed for pictures with the volunteers and some of the children.

Jolie had already expressed concern and support for Ukraine when she visited a hospital in Rome, Italy, which has taken in dozens of refugee children.

According to UNHCR, more than 12.7 million people have fled their homes in the last two months in Ukraine, which is about 30% of Ukraine’s pre-war population.
