Today is June 04 which means today is Angelina Jolie’s 47th birthday! Happy Birthday Angelina! We hope you get to spend the day with all your loved ones.

Angelina Jolie has always shown her solidarity in the face of the world’s injustices. In addition to being an ambassador for the UN, she is also an ambassador for the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).

On this occasion she wanted to help the Ukrainian people in these difficult times they are going through with the Russian invasion and visited the city of Lviv, the principle city in the west of Ukraine.

However, this trip had nothing to do with her positions in these organisations and was allegedly undertaken in a personal capacity, with the intention of “helping the Ukrainians”.

There, she was able to see the situation first hand and hear the experiences of the people affected. The actress visited a cafeteria, a boarding school and a train station, but had to be evacuated from the latter.

The moment when Angelina Jolie had to leave the building was recorded and the sound of anti-aircraft sirens warning of a possible Russian attack or bombing near the area can be heard.

The video is upsetting, but the actress says she is fine. The video lasts less than a minute and shows her running with her team to protect herself from a possible attack.

One of the operatives accompanying Angelina Jolie asks whoever is filming to stop.

The actress experienced the tensions that have been raging in Ukraine since February first hand. She was in Lviv, which is 80 kilometres from the Polish border, and has been attacked by Russia in recent days.

Hollywood actor and UN humanitarian Angelina Jolie made a surprise visit to the western Ukrainian city of Lviv on Saturday, the Lviv regional governor said on Telegram.

According to Maksym Kozytskiy, Jolie – who has been a UNHCR special envoy for refugees since 2011 – had come to speak to displaced people who have found refuge in Lviv, including children undergoing treatment for injuries sustained in the missile strike on the Kramatorsk railway station in early April.

The attack in the eastern Ukrainian city appeared to deliberately target a crowd of mostly women and children trying to flee a looming Russian offensive, killing at least 52 and wounding dozens more.

“She was very moved by [the children’s] stories,” Kozytskiy wrote. “One girl was even able to privately tell Ms Jolie about a dream she’d had.”

He said Jolie also visited a boarding school, talked to students and took photos with them, adding “she promised she would come again”.

According to Kozytskiy, Jolie also met with evacuees arriving at Lviv’s central railway station, as well as with Ukrainian volunteers providing the new arrivals with medical help and counselling.

“The visit was a surprise to us all,” he wrote. “Plenty of people who saw Ms. Jolie in the Lviv region could not believe that it was really her. But since 24 Feb, Ukraine has shown the entire world that there are plenty of incredible things here.”
