Angelina Jolie's guide was dramatically ordered to register at a war conscription office during her visit to frontline regions of Ukraine on a UN humanitarian mission.The Hollywood star, 50, was being escorted by Dmytro Pyshchikov, 33, when they were stopped at a checkpoint in Pivdennoukrainsk, in the south of the country, on November 5. During this checkpoint stop, guards reportedly found his documents showed he had no grounds for deferment from military service. Despite the bodyguard's claims that he was escorting an 'important person' he was still taken to the local Territorial Recruitment Centre [TRC] - which handles enlistment for fighters defending Ukraine from Russian aggression.His loved ones say they now cannot contact him. Pyshchikov's girlfriend Yulia Lotytska told local media: 'He called me [on November 5]. I texted him several times before that, he didn't answer. 'Then I decided to call, his phone was turned off. And he called after a while, told me that he was in the Mykolaiv region, in Voznesensk, at the [TRC]. That he had been detained, he was moving with the motorcade'.His brother Yevhen Pyshchikov said Dmytro was given permission to defer from military service this year, on account of his bad back: 'He had all the documents and a volunteer certificate with him. He is suitable for service in the [TRC] and rear support units.'Ukrainian ground forces confirmed the incident, writing in a statement: 'The citizen, as a driver, was part of the group that accompanied the foreign actress Angelina Jolie. 'At the time of clarifying all circumstances, this group was nearby.'When all circumstances were clarified, the famous actress continued on her planned route.'Neither she nor her representatives influenced the work of military personnel and civil servants of the TRC and the Recruitment Centre, as some posts on the Internet try to suggest.'The regional military recruitment offiсe in Mykolaiv confirmed Jolie's driver was a military reservist and was ordered to come to military retraining. It was not immediately clear if the driver had been allowed to continue working with her.The Daily Mail has contacted Jolie's representatives for comment. Jolie was in Ukraine as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador on her second visit of the war. She was earlier seen visiting children living in the frontline region which is subjected to daily strikes by Putin's forces.Ukraine is seeking to crackdown on citizens who try and evade the military call-up.Last week, it was revealed that almost 100,000 fighting-age men have fled Ukraine in the last two months after President Volodymyr Zelensky relaxed the rules to allow young men to leave the country. Poland's border guard said 99,000 Ukrainian men aged 18 to 22 have crossed the border since August.The new rules mean men between the ages of 18 and 22 are no longer barred from leaving Ukraine. Previously, men between 18 and 60 had been obliged to stay by law since the onset of the war.The martial law was introduced to ensure the army had enough manpower to defend the country against Russia's onslaught. The draft age is currently 25 to 60 years old, having been reduced from 27 in April 2024.Kyiv guards its official death toll, but estimates made by US officials range from 60,000 to 100,000 troops killed since 2022.

Oscar-winning actress and former UN Goodwill Ambassador Angelina Jolie was spotted this week in the embattled city of Kherson, Ukraine, reportedly on a humanitarian mission. Kherson has been a frontline target of Russian forces since 2022, and locals say Jolie visited several hospitals, including a maternity ward and a children’s hospital, bringing attention to civilians caught in the crossfire. Former city council member Vitaliy Bohdanov shared photos of Jolie in a body armor vest bearing the Legacy of War Foundation patch, a charity assisting those affected by the conflict. Another local outlet posted images of Jolie playing with children in a toy-strewn playroom, all while donning the protective gear. Daily Mail has not received a response to its request for comment from reps for Jolie. Russian forces continue near-daily strikes on Kherson, including an October 29 attack on a children's hospital that injured nine, highlighting the perilous conditions Jolie faced during her visit. Jolie served as a UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador from 2001 to 2012 and as Special Envoy until 2022, carrying out more than 60 field missions to aid refugees and displaced families. She stepped down from the role to focus on broader humanitarian and human rights issues, but has returned to Ukraine multiple times. In 2022, she visited Lviv, meeting children injured in the Kramatorsk train station missile strike. She spoke with displaced families at the city’s railway station, taking shelter under air raid sirens. The Malificent star also paid a visit to Ukrainian Child refugees in Rome that same year. That same year, she visited Ukrainian child refugees in Rome at Bambino Gesu pediatric hospital just outside Vatican City.Here she met Ukranian children who had arrived in Italy after fleeing the war in their home country.These children were among the more than two million estimated by UNICEF who have fled Ukraine since Russia launched its full-scale invasion on February 24, 2022, with another 2.5 million displaced internally. In February 2022, Jolie spoke about the war in Ukraine in a post to her Instagram followers.She wrote: '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.'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.'
Jolie's decades-long humanitarian work earned her a Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award in 2013.The visit to Ukraine comes after Jolie's next career move was revealed as she prepares to be the latest A-lister to flee Hollywood.The actress is reuniting with the Mr. and Mrs. Smith director Doug Liman for another spy thriller. She is starring in the upcoming film titled The Initiative with Liman directing and F. Scott Frazier writing the script, per The Hollywood Reporter. She last worked with the director on the set of the 2005 action-comedy, where she met her ex-husband Brad Pitt. Jolie will portray a rogue master spy named Bright in the movie, which has been described as 'Training Day set in the world spycraft.'Meanwhile, she is reportedly looking to sell her historic Los Angeles home and move abroad as the latest A-lister to pack up to leave Hollywood behind, according to People. The mom-of-six wants to 'put the house up for sale' and move when her youngest kids, twins Knox and Vivienne, turn 18 next year. She shares the twins as well as Maddox, 24, Pax, 21, Zahara, 20, and Shiloh, 19, with ex-husband Brad, 61. The star 'never wanted to live in L.A. full time' but she 'didn't have a choice because of the custody arrangement with Brad,' a source told the publication. The exes reached a settlement in their ugly divorce in December 2024 after an eight-year legal battle.'She'll be very happy when she's able to leave Los Angeles,' the insider added.

Brad Pitt is moving forward in the ongoing legal case with ex-wife Angelina Jolie over their French winery Château Miraval.Attorneys for the Fight Club actor, 61, entered a court filing in Los Angeles County Superior Court Monday asking for records of private conversations the Maleficent actress, 50, had over the sale of her share of the property.Jolie has past said that attorney-client privilege played a role in her ongoing refusal to turn over the messages, People reported after reviewing the court filing.Jolie 'is abusing the privilege to bury critical documents that go to the heart of the case,' attorneys for the Oscar winning actor argued in the court filing, asking for 22 documents in all.Daily Mail has reached out to reps for both parties for further comment on the story. Pitt's legal team said that Jolie's legal logic was not sound as to why she is refusing to turn over the communications.'It is Jolie's burden to prove that non-attorney communications are privileged, not Pit's burden to disprove this,' Pitt's legal team said in the court filing, according to People.Paul Murphy, Jolie’s counsel told the Daily Mail: 'Mr. Pitt’s reply brief does not address our arguments and continues to rely on conjecture and speculation – all for the purpose of invading her privileged communications with her lawyers. 'This once again confirms that this lawsuit is the manifestation of Mr. Pitt’s years-long effort to harass and control Angelina. We look forward to the upcoming hearing.Jolie entered a court filing earlier this month stating her displeasure with how things have turned out involving the French winery.Jolie said that upon the 2016 split, she left Pitt 'control (and full residency) of our family homes in Los Angeles and at Miraval, without compensation, which I hoped would make him calmer in his dealings with me after a difficult and traumatic period
'To this day, the children and I have never again set foot on the property, given its connection to the painful events leading to the divorce.'The former couple are parents to six children: Maddox, 24, Pax, 21, Zahara, 20, Shiloh, 19, and twins Vivienne and Knox, 17. They split up in 2016 following a 12-year relationship and two-year marriage, with their divorce finalized eight years later in December 2024 amid a number of legal battles.As Daily Mail previously reported, the former A-list duo is officially headed to trial next year — and both sides are bracing for a lengthy fight.The warring exes will soon come face to face in court after a judge tossed Jolie’s attempt to dismiss Pitt’s lawsuit over Château Miraval, the sprawling French estate where they tied the knot in 2014. The property, known for its award-winning rosé, has become ground zero in the stars' years-long legal war.Last year Jolie tried to shut down Pitt’s claims that she sold her stake in the estate behind his back — despite what he says was a verbal agreement to hold onto their 50-50 split. After her motion was denied, the case is moving full speed ahead. Pitt expects the jury trial to last about 15 days, while Jolie believes it will take over two weeks, according to court documents obtained by UsWeekly. The trial date hasn’t been locked in yet, and several key motions are still on the table.Pitt called the case 'complex,' citing international parties and multiple cross-claims involved in the tangled dispute, per the court documents. A source close to the actor told DailyMail.com: 'This is a straightforward business dispute, but unfortunately, the other side has consistently introduced personal elements which have exposed the weaknesses in their case and complicated and lengthened the proceedings.'Pitt filed the $67 million lawsuit against Jolie in 2022, less than a year after the shares were sold, setting off a protracted court battle between the exes.

Angelina Jolie details ‘painful events' that led to Brad Pitt divorce in new legal update as she reveals why she 'never again set foot' in their French home

Angelina Jolie has detailed her split from Brad Pitt in a new legal update on the 'painful events' that led to their 8-year divorce. The actress, 50, filed for divorce from the actor, 61, in 2016, just days after an infamous incident aboard a private jet in which she accused Brad of being physically and verbally abusive toward her and her children while intoxicated, claims he has denied. The former couple share six children: Maddox, 24; Pax, 21; Zahara, 20; Shiloh, 19; and 17-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.Now, Angelina has detailed just how difficult her divorce from her ex-husband was in a newly filed court declaration. On Monday, she filed new documents as part of their never-ending court battle brought by Brad over their home in France, Château Miraval. In documents obtained by Daily Mail, Angelina wrote: 'The events leading to my need to separate from my ex-husband were emotionally difficult for me and our children.'Upon filing for divorce, I left him control (and full residency) of our family homes in Los Angeles and at Miraval, without compensation, which I hoped would make him calmer in his dealings with me after a difficult and traumatic period.' She continued: 'To this day, the children and I have never again set foot on the property, given its connection to the painful events leading to the divorce. 'Post-separation, I immediately began to look for a new house for me and our children, initially renting a home while looking for a more stable solution. 'Because I wanted to ensure that Brad remained an important part of our children's lives, I looked to buy a property near his home. 'At the time, my savings were tied up in Miraval, and I had not asked Brad for alimony or any other financial support.' The Daily Mail has contacted Brad's representative for comment. It comes after it was reported that Brad is requesting to see Angelina's private messages in a new legal filing. On June 30, the F1 actor logged documents stating he's struggled to acquire the actress's communications, which he thinks could provide critical evidence in their ongoing clash over their French winery.Brad and Angelina entered into an acrimonious back-and-forth over NDA's, which have become a key point in their fight, after the latter sold her stake in the winery.In July 2024, Angelina asked Brad to 'end the fighting' and drop the lawsuit against her to allow their family to 'heal.' But sources told the Daily Mail that the Fight Club actor had 'no intention' of dropping it, alleging that Jolie only made the plea after realising that she does not have as strong a case as she previously thought.'Brad is not going to drop this lawsuit – why would he? This was a very standard business dispute but unfortunately, Angelina has consistently introduced personal elements that are meant for a divorce court,' a person close to the situation shared.
Per legal documents obtained by People in February 2022, the Maleficent actress auctioned off her portion to Tenute del Mondo of the manufacturer Stoli Group. In turn, Pitt claims that Jolie's former investment company Nouvel owed his company Mondo Bongo the right of first refusal.Following their breakup, Brad has a strained relationship with his and Angelina's kids. Several of them have dropped his last name from their monikers recently, with Zahara being the first. Vivienne and Shiloh followed suit and the longtime leading man now has 'virtually no contact' with his adult children. Elsewhere, Brad's ex-wife Jennifer Aniston revealed she endured a 20-year secret battle to have a baby.The Friends icon, 56, gave a rare interview to Harper's Bazaar UK's November issue, about the false narrative that she didn't want to become a mother because she's a 'selfish workaholic'. She said: ‘They didn’t know my story, or what I’d been going through over the past 20 years to try to pursue a family, because I don’t go out there and tell them my medical woes.'That’s not anybody’s business. But there comes a point when you can’t not hear it – the narrative about how I won’t have a baby, won’t have a family, because I’m selfish, a workaholic. 'It does affect me – I’m just a human being. We’re all human beings. That’s why I thought, “What the hell?”'However, the older Jennifer gets, the less she feels the need to 'correct a false narrative'. She explained: 'The news cycle is so fast, it just goes away.'Of course, there are times when I feel that sense of justice – when something has been said that isn’t true and I need to right the wrong.'And then I think, do I really? My family knows my truth, my friends know my truth.’ Jennifer was married to Brad Pitt from 2000 to 2005. They split after he met actress Angelina Jolie on the set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith. In 2022, Jennifer tragically revealed she had unsuccessfully tried IVF - and admitted she wished she had frozen her eggs years earlier.'It was a challenging road for me, the baby-making road,' Jennifer said at the time.'My late 30s, 40s, I'd gone through really hard sh[*]t, and if it wasn't for going through that, I would've never become who I was meant to be. I was trying to get pregnant.'All the years and years and years of speculation... It was really hard. I was going through IVF, drinking Chinese teas, you name it. I was throwing everything at it.'I would've given anything if someone had said to me, "Freeze your eggs. Do yourself a favor." You just don't think it. So here I am today. The ship has sailed. But I have zero regrets.'Jennifer was aged 35 when she split from Brad and previously said the suggestion he left her because she wouldn't give him a child was an 'absolute lie'. Brad went on to have has six children with Angelina.
