The actress has a brave heart
Jessica Chastain has been incredibly moved by the Ukrainian cause and she was determined to tell the stories of those impacted by the war.
Bravely, the star made a special trip to Ukraine where she witnessed firsthand the destruction in the war-torn country. During her emotional trip, she paid a visit to Okhmatdyt’s children's hospital to meet young people and she had a meeting with Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky.
Jessica said of her trip: "I don't want to get emotional but meeting the kids at the hospital, I felt my heart was going out to them because there was a girl with her mom and she needed new legs. That was really devastating."
Zelensky praised the actress for making the journey. He said: "American actress Jessica Chastain is in Ukraine today. For us, such visits of famous people are extremely valuable.
"Thanks to this, the world will hear, know and understand the truth about what is happening in our country even more."
She has joined the slew of stars who have visited Ukraine to show their support, including Angelina Jolie, Sean Penn and Ben Stiller.
The Ministry of Defence tweeted Ukraine is “grateful to Hollywood stars who, despite the danger, have visited us".
A statement read: "You are more than just an inspiration to all of us. Millions around the world have heard the truth from you about the struggle of the Ukrainian people."
