Angelina Jolie was forced to run for cover after air raid sirens went off during her visit to the embattled city of Lviv in Ukraine.
Since the beginning of the Russian invasion, the Hollywood star and United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees has voiced her support for the people of Ukraine and called for an end to the bloodshed in Europe.
The Tomb Raider star now also visited the war-torn city country as she traveled to Lviv to stand in solidarity with the locals and speak with displaced civilians who were forced to flee their homes.
At one instance during her trip, Jolie was caught on camera speeding off to safety alongside her crew after air raid sirens went off in the city.
“Please, no more,” a woman accompanying Jolie told the person recording as the actress hurried to safety.
After being asked if she was afraid of the potential airstrike in the city, the UN ambassador personally responded by saying that she was okay.
While the specifics of her trip to Ukraine remain unclear, Jolie has been calling for peace in Europe since February when she posted a touching statement on Instagram.
“Like many of you, I’m praying for the people in Ukraine. My focus along with my @refugees colleagues is that everything possible is done to ensure the protection and basic human rights of those displaced, and refugees in the region,” she wrote.
“We have already seen reports of casualties and people starting to flee their homes to seek safety.
“It is too soon to know what will happen, but the significance of this moment – for the people of Ukraine, and for the international rule of law – cannot be overstated.”
Following Jolie’s latest trip to Ukraine, the governor of Lviv admitted the visit was a surprise to everyone.
“The visit was a surprise to us all. Plenty of people who saw Ms. Jolie in the Lviv region could not believe that it was really her. But since Feb. 24, Ukraine has shown the entire world that there are plenty of incredible things here,” he said.
