UN reveals reason for Angelina Jolie's visit to Lviv

American actress Angelina Jolie, who is a special envoy of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, visited the city of Lviv on her own initiative.

Joung-ah Ghedini-Williams, a spokeswoman for the Office of the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), told The Washington Post in an email that Jolie was not in Lviv on business for the organization.

“Angelina Jolie is traveling to the region in her personal capacity and UNHCR has nothing to do with this visit,” she said.

Recall that the Hollywood actress was filmed in a cafe in Lviv. In the video, a movie star, dressed in a gray tracksuit, walks into the establishment, signs an autograph for a patron, and greets the others with a wave.
