She spent time with doctors, families, and volunteers who live each day under the constant threat of drones, shelling, and landmines that make it too dangerous for many to return home. In some areas, she saw nets placed over the streets to help protect people from drone strikes.

To cope with the constant danger, healthcare and education have moved into fortified underground areas, so that treatment and learning can go on in safer conditions. Angelina witnessed these efforts firsthand — a stark reminder of the toll of war and the strength of those who keep going despite it.

Angelina said, "The people of Mykolaiv and Kherson live with danger every day, but they refuse to give in. At time when governments around the world are turning their backs on the protection of civilians, their strength, and their support for each other is humbling. After nearly four years of conflict, exhaustion is visible, yet so too is determination. Families want safety, peace, and the chance to rebuild their lives."

Angelina Jolie talks about the movie, "Muganga"

Angelina Jolie talks about the movie, "Muganga". 

She posted on her Instagram, "I don’t usually post about film, but this is less about film and more about a globally overlooked issue". 

"Muganga: The One Who Treats is the story of surgeon Dr Denis Mukwege, who has operated on thousands of women suffering internal injuries and trauma from rape, during the brutal conflict in his homeland, the Democratic Republic of Congo. He recently screened the film in Kinshasa for the Congolese public and it will be screened for survivors in the coming weeks."

"This is not an issue isolated to the DRC, but a crime carried out globally. If global leaders were even a fraction as brave and committed as Dr Mukwege, then it might finally meet the response it deserves."

President Donald Trump’s administration has pursued plans to suspend USAID and halt foreign aid.

A post shared the video containing the fake report, with caption, "USAID was using our tax dollars to send celebrities to UKRAINE to increase Zelensky's popularity around the world and, in particular, the U.S…. BURN USAID TO THE GROUND. We don't need it under any department."

Ben Stiller slammed the fake rumors, saying, "Totally false. These are lies coming from Russian media. I completely self-funded my humanitarian trip to Ukraine. There was no funding from USAID and certainly no payment of any kind".
