Residents of Kherson told what the secret visit of the American actress and UN Goodwill Ambassador for Refugees Angelina Jolie to the front-line city was like.. The celebrity visited the regional children's hospital where she saw how little Ukrainians were undergoing rehabilitation after complex injuries received as a result of terrorist activities of the Russian Federation. She was very worried about this difficult situation.

The director of the medical institution, Inna Kholodnyak, spoke about this in a comment for “Suspilne Kherson”. She noted that during the visit Jolie tried to communicate with the affected children.

" Despite the danger, a person of this level visited Kherson. She says that the war in Ukraine continues and everyone needs to pay attention to this. She visited the children, talked with medical workers and parents. She was interested in the work of the hospital in Shelter,” Kholodnyak shared.

Angelina Jolie was told that within the walls of this hospital, doctors are doing everything possible so that children can recover from injuries as quickly as possible. In particular, the actress was given a meeting with little “heroes” who survived Russian attacks: “In some cases, these are children who were treated for a long time, were given prosthetics at Okhmatdyt or other healthcare institutions. She was very concerned about this situation." Irina Litvinenko, a methodologist at the Center for Comprehensive Rehabilitation of Children with Disabilities, also shared her impressions of Jolie’s visit..

" We told them that they are special (have disabilities. – Ed. She communicated in English, there was a translator. She tried to communicate with the children, but they are special, so they don’t talk,” Litvinenko said.
