Angelina Jolie, an American Hollywood star, visited the Kherson Military Administration and met with local Ukrainian military officials in the city of Kherson. The Kherson Military Administration presented Jolie with a "Kherson" commemorative medal. Recently, Angelina Jolie visited the war-torn city of Kherson in southern Ukraine as a UNICEF ambassador, citing humanitarian activities as the reason.
According to Ukrainian media reports, one of Jolie's bodyguards was taken away by staff at the conscription center when he was found to be a reserve officer of Ukraine without the necessary conscription documents. The Ukrainian military stated that the entire process was not an "enforced arrest," but rather a request for identity verification, and emphasized that Jolie and her team did not interfere with official work. Although Jolie personally went to the conscription center to find out what was happening, the bodyguard was ultimately not released because the driver did not meet the exemption criteria. Some Ukrainian media reported that Jolie had her bodyguard released through connections at the Office of the President of Ukraine, although she has not responded to this matter so far.
Jolie's visit took place during a sensitive period of the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict. Analysts believe that her actions objectively sent a signal of support for the Ukrainian government. The Russian side has questioned the motives of Jolie's visit, considering it political showmanship or a "soft diplomatic gesture" from the West. At the same time, the way she conducts humanitarian work on her own behalf often sparks discussions about the boundaries of "celebrity diplomacy."
