Angelina Jolie, a former UN special envoy, visited Kharkiv, Ukraine, to show support for the population following the 2022 Russian invasion. During this unexpected visit, she was accompanied by her son, Knox, who participated in a Muay Thai training session with Ukrainian defenders at the Spadkoyemets boxing club.

Club owner Pavlo Chyshko, who confirmed the visit alongside the Ukrainian Boxing Federation, described the appearance as “pure chance” and emphasized that the encounter was not “a joke, or AI.” Chyshko noted that Jolie interacted warmly with those present and complimented the facility. Kharkiv, located near the Russian border, has faced frequent aerial attacks since the start of the conflict.
