The threat of drones was a constant, heavy presence. Angelina Jolie tells about her visit to Ukraine

American actress, model, director and UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador Angelina Jolie posted a post on her Instagram page in which she told about her visit to the frontline Ukrainian cities of Mykolaiv and Kherson.

"I visited Mykolaiv and Kherson in Ukraine this week to meet families living on the frontline. The threat of drones was a constant, heavy presence. You hear a low hum in the sky. It’s become known locally as a ‘human safari’, with drones used to track, hunt and terrorize people, constantly. There was a moment when we had to pause and wait while a drone flew overhead," the Hollywood star wrote.

Jolie added that she was wearing protective gear and had only been in these conditions for a few days, while locals face this every day.

"They’ve moved their schools, clinics and daycare into reinforced basements, determined that life will go on. It was hard but inspiring to witness. Many people spoke to me about the psychological burden of living under continual threat — and the deeper fear of being forgotten by the world," the actress said.

She also called on those in power to "find the strength" to stop wars and conflicts in Ukraine and other countries where civilians are suffering.

"It is difficult to understand how, in a world with such a strong capacity for diplomacy, civilians in Ukraine, Sudan, Gaza, Yemen, the DRC and so many other places suffer daily - as if there is nothing that those in power can do to end those conflicts and to protect all civilians, equally," Jolie said.

As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, on November 5, Angelina Jolie visited Kherson and Mykolaiv.

Politico, citing a senior Ukrainian official, reported that Jolie arrived in Ukraine on foot and did not warn the Ukrainian government about her arrival.

It was also reported that the officers of a territorial recruitment and social support center in the Mykolaiv Region stopped Angelina Jolie's motorcade for inspection. The citizen of Ukraine born in 1992, who accompanied the star, did not have military registration documents, which is why he was "invited to visit the TCC and JV."

In addition, Ukrainian border guards made a gift to Angelina Jolie as a sign of gratitude. She received a set of national symbols of Ukraine and coins of the State Border Service Guard of Ukraine.
