The actress reportedly met with medical staff, families and volunteers who go about their daily lives under the constant threat of shelling, and saw nets being installed over public roads in some parts of the city to try to provide some protection from drone attacks.
In response to the constant threat, medical care and education moved to fortified underground facilities to ensure that treatment and education could continue with a greater degree of protection. Angelina watched the work, a reminder of both the human cost of conflict and the resilience of those who continue to endure it.
“The residents of Mykolaiv and Kherson live in danger every day, but they refuse to give up. At a time when governments around the world are turning their backs on protecting civilians, their strength and support for one another is astounding. After almost three years of conflict, exhaustion is visible, but so is determination. Families want safety, peace and an opportunity to rebuild their lives,” Jolie said.
The day before, the media reported that Angelina Jolie, who was previously the UN ambassador, made an unexpected visit to Kherson. This is her second visit to Ukraine since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of Russia in 2022. Previously, she visited the city of Lviv.
The Legacy of War Foundation (LoWF) was established in 2017 to work directly with communities and local partners to support people in the process of rebuilding after armed conflict.
Since 2022, LoWF has helped more than 10,000 Ukrainians in frontline areas to access primary health care and diagnostics in their communities; distributed more than $450,000 in grants and more than 30 tons of aid.
