Actress Angelina Jolie visited Mykolaiv and Kherson regions in Ukraine earlier this week to meet with local aid organizations.
The city of Kherson is located very close to the front and is the target of continuous Russian attacks.
The Hollywood star shared photos of her trip on Instagram and revealed that she got close to a Russian drone.
– The threat of drones was constant and severe. You can hear a low hum from the sky, he wrote in the post.
– There was a moment when we had to stop and wait when the drone flew above us. I was wearing protective gear and it only lasted a couple of days for me. The families living here live with this every single day, he said.

The picture carousel published from the trip has shots of the hospital, the ruins of the house and presumably the bunker. In the caption, the actor told more about his feelings that the trip gave rise to:
– They have moved their school, clinic and daycare to reinforced basements, determined that life will go on. It was hard but inspiring to witness this. Many people told me about the psychological burden of living under constant threat — and the deeper fear of being forgotten by the world.
Jolie also said that drones are constantly being used in the region to track, hunt and intimidate people.
It is difficult for him to understand how, in a world with a great capacity for diplomacy, civilians in Ukraine, Sudan, Gaza, Yemen, the Democratic Republic of Congo and many other places suffer daily.
In the text he wrote, he also wonders that despite the actions of those in power, conflicts continue and that civilians cannot be protected equally.
Angelina Jolie is known for her extensive charity work and humanitarian activities. He has traveled to crisis areas in different parts of the world before. He also constantly brings up these topics on, for example, his Instagram.
