Famous British actor, writer and screenwriter Stephen Fry came to Kyiv.

Stephen Fry posted on his Instagram. Shots of a Ukrzaliznytsya train sleeper compartment and doors labelled "shelter".

What a day. I can not believe that I arrived here in Kyiv just 12 hours ago: since then I watched the surgery of a wounded fighter (the air raid siren sounded, but no one paid attention, there was a patient to take care of), - wrote Stephen Fry.

He also said he met two young men who were laughing while teasing each other about the differences between their new prosthetic legs. He then spoke to a young woman who had lost her husband at the front just a fortnight before.

They all had in common an extreme humour, and a deep unwavering determination to meet the barbarians at the gates and preserve their independence and sovereignty. War can bring out the worst in people, but sometimes the best," Stephen Fry wrote.

Stephen Fry has arrived in Kyiv, where he will host the Third Summit of First Ladies and Gentlemen, which will take place on 6 September.
