The 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren had been forced to flee their homes and country when Vladimir Putin launched a full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine on February 24.

Unicef estimates that two million 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥 refugees have left Ukraine since the start of the war, with a further 2.5 million displaced internally and 60% of Ukrainian 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren forced to leave their homes.

Jolie also met the doctors and nurses who have been charged with taking care of the refugees.

The star of the recent Marvel movie Eternals received a Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award for her humanitarian work in 2013 and has been a Special Envoy for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees since 2012, undertaking dozens of trips to visit camps with refugees from countries such as Yemen, Burkina Faso, Venezuela and many more.
