How Angelina Jolie supports Ukraine

Jolie has previously visited Ukraine since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion.

On April 30, 2022, she traveled to Lviv, where she met with refugees and volunteers, visited a train station where evacuees from the Donetsk region had arrived, and stopped by a boarding school and a medical facility.

She spoke with children injured in the Kramatorsk train station missile strike and promised to return. During that visit, she also had to take shelter during an air raid alert.

Jolie continues to speak out about Russia's war crimes and show support for Ukraine on her social media and at public events.
