Hollywood star Angelina Jolie made a surprise visit to Kherson, a Ukrainian frontline city facing Russian drone strikes, Ukrainian media reported Wednesday. This marks her second Ukraine visit since Russia's invasion. Photographed wearing a bulletproof vest with Ukrainian insignia, she visited children's hospitals and maternity wards. Reports claim one of her bodyguards was drafted by the Ukrainian Army mid-trip, requiring Jolie to visit the conscription office for his release. Kherson, briefly occupied by Moscow in 2022, faces daily Russian bombardment. Jolie previously visited Ukraine months after the invasion's start, meeting displaced persons in Lviv. She served as UN special envoy for refugees from 2012-2022. Her latest film, Couture, premiered at Toronto International Film Festival.
