Angelina Jolie issued a stark warning about how children will be most affected by Russia's ongoing invasion of Ukraine. Jolie, who serves as special envoy for the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), took to Instagram on Tuesday with a message about what's to come if the war doesn't come to an end. "As well as the millions who’ve fled over Ukraine’s borders, nearly 2 million people are displaced inside their country, many trapped by fighting, denied access to aid, and in direct physical danger.

Without an end to the war children will pay the highest price – in trauma, lost childhoods and shattered lives," the actress and humanitarian wrote.

"We have already seen reports of casualties and people starting to flee their homes to seek safety.
