Hollywood star Angelina Jolie was seen visiting a cafe in the Ukrainian city of Lviv on Saturday, despite the fact that the city has been hit by Russian missiles in recent weeks, killing at least seven people. She looked relaxed in her casual clothes and took the time to sign autographs. Lviv resident Maya Pidhoretska captured the moment in a video she posted on Facebook, commenting: “Nothing special. Only Lviv. I just went to have coffee. Just Angelina Jolie … Ukraine is just supported by the whole world. ” Although the purpose of her visit has not yet been confirmed, Jolie is a special envoy to the UN for refugees and has consistently supported humanitarian crises. The Independent reports that the mother of six visited Yemen in March and the war-torn Mosul in 2011. When Russia invaded Ukraine in February, Jolie addressed the unfolding social media crisis: “Like many of you, I pray for the people of Ukraine. My focus, together with my colleagues from @refugees, is to do everything possible to ensure the protection and basic human rights of displaced persons and refugees in the region. “
