Angelina Jolie’s Driver Detained in Ukraine During Humanitarian Visit

In Voznesensk, in the Mykolaiv region, authorities are clarifying the circumstances of Dmytro’s detention, a driver in Angelina Jolie’s convoy, who is currently under the control of the TCC.

Dmytro from Kropyvnytskyi is a combat sambo coach and was part of the convoy of the American actress and UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador Angelina Jolie. On November 5, 2025, he was detained by TCC personnel in the Mykolaiv region.

According to Yulia Lotytska, there is currently no contact with Dmytro.

“He called me yesterday, late in the evening. Before that I had sent him messages several times; he did not respond. Then I decided to call him; his phone was off. And after some time he called back and told me that he is in the Mykolaiv region, Voznesensk, at the TCC”

Yulia also said that she had previously contacted journalists about the situation and confirmed that Dmytro is in the Mykolaiv region – in Voznesensk and at the TCC.
