Hollywood star Angelina Jolie visited the Ukrainian city of Lviv, the day before yesterday, stopping in a bakery, and went to a railway station to meet some residents displaced by the war with Russia, before leaving it later after the sound of sirens.

Jolie, 46, is a special envoy for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, which says more than 12.7 million people have fled their homes in the past two months, representing about 30% of Ukraine's pre-war population.

While visiting the railway station, Jolie met volunteers helping the displaced, who told her that each psychiatrist on duty spoke to about 15 people a day.

Volunteers said that many of those present at the station were children between the ages of two and 10.

"They must be traumatized," Jolie said. "I know how trauma affects children.

I realize that just being there for someone shows how important they are, how important it is to listen to their voice... I know it has an impact on their recovery.”

At one point, Jolie petted a little girl, and also took souvenir photos with volunteers and some children.

Later, the sirens sounded, and Julie and her assistants quickly got out of the station, and got into a waiting car.
