Actor Orlando Bloom visits east Ukraine with UNICEF mission

According to media reports, Bloom also visited the cities of Svyatohirsk and Kramatorsk. The towns, especially Slovyansk, were the hotspots of fierce battles between the Ukrainian armed forces and Russia-backed militants in mid-2014, and were liberated from the separatists’ control in July that year. Orlando Bloom visited school №13 in Slovyansk and was spotted at a local cafe in Kramatorsk. The actor, best known for the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit movie franchise, will reportedly visit Kyiv next week.
