The visit of famous actress Angelina Jolie to the Ukrainian city of Kherson is of great importance in terms of increasing attention to the war-torn region and promoting humanitarian aid. This visit is also considered an indicator of the international community's support for Ukraine.
Redaksiya reports that Angelina Jolie's visit to Kherson was highly appreciated by the city administration and local residents.

According to Tolokonnikov, the arrival of a well-known person like Angelina Jolie in Kherson is very important for the city and could lead to an increase in humanitarian aid.
A number of incidents also occurred during the actress's visit.

It turned out that the person was a reserve officer and did not have the right to defer mobilization. This incident overshadowed some aspects of the visit. As part of her visit, Angelina Jolie visited medical facilities in the city, including a maternity hospital and a children's hospital, and met with children. The head of the Kherson Regional Military Administration presented the actress with a "Kherson" commemorative coin. The coin depicts the stele at the city entrance and Freedom Square, where Kherson residents held rallies during the occupation. Tolokonnikov emphasized the importance of such visits, noting the necessity of such people coming. He stated that sometimes people feel forgotten, but these visits show the opposite.
According to information from the Kherson Regional Military Administration, representatives of the world's largest military alliance also do not venture far from the western regions of Ukraine. Even NATO representatives gather in the western part of Ukraine, which are relatively safe zones. Angelina Jolie's visit is of great importance in terms of increasing attention to the war-torn city of Kherson and promoting humanitarian aid.
