Angelina Jolie's unexpected visit to Ukraine sparked intense discussion

Angelina Jolie, actress and humanitarian activist, made a surprise visit to Ukraine, arriving in the city of Kherson, which is on the front line of the war with Russia. This trip, part of her work as a UNICEF ambassador, was her second since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion in 2022. However, her visit attracted attention due to an incident involving a member of her entourage, who, according to some sources, was drafted into the Ukrainian army.

According to a top Ukrainian official, one of Jolie's escorts got into a situation with local military recruiters at a checkpoint. Ukrainian authorities are still investigating the details of the incident, as Jolie did not inform the government of her visit. Official representatives of the Armed Forces of Ukraine confirmed that Jolie's driver is a military reservist who was ordered to report for duty. At the same time, the information disseminated in the media was called distorted, and an investigation is currently underway.

Jolie's representative declined to comment on the situation at the official level. Local news outlets, including Nikvesti, published a video of Jolie in Mykolaiv Oblast, and social media sparked heated discussions about the incident, given the significant emotional and humanitarian aspects associated with her visit to Ukraine at this difficult time for the country.
