Actress and humanitarian Angelina Jolie has garnered scrutiny over her companions after her surprise visit to Ukraine, with the latest reports claiming that one of her entourage members was unexpectedly drafted into the Ukrainian military.
The Ukrainian officials told Politico, “The information being spread in the media is distorted, an investigation is currently underway and all the circumstances are being clarified.”
As a UNICEF ambassador, Jolie visited Ukraine’s Kherson city on Tuesday. Since Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022, it was Angelina’s second visit to the country, as she had previously visited the city of Lviv.
In 2022, the actress wrote on Instagram, “Like many of you, I’m praying for the people in Ukraine… My focus … is that everything possible is done to ensure the protection and basic human rights of those displaced."
During a surprise visit to Lviv, Ukraine, Angelina said she was “humbled to witness the resilience and courage and dignity of the Ukrainian people in the face of the terror and trauma of a war they did not choose," per ITV.

After stepping down from her UNHCR role, the actress said, “After 20 years working within the U.N. system, I feel it is time for me to work differently, engaging directly with refugees and local organisations," per Euro News.
“We are here for a simple reason: This region is at the epicentre of a global crisis. Nearly 60 million people are displaced from their homes," she said, per UNHCR.
“I see all people as equal. I see the abuse and suffering, and I cannot stand by. Around the world, people are fleeing gas attacks, rape, female genital mutilation, beatings, persecution, and murder. They do not flee to improve their lives. They flee because they cannot survive otherwise," she told Vogue India.
