While some have decided to flee Ukraine to save their lives and those of their children, other citizens of the country have taken up arms to push the Russians back from the borders and in particular from the capital, Kiev. Most men, in particular, are called upon to join the army reserve… but not exclusively!
In effect, ex-beauty queen Anastasiia Lenna also decided to engage in the armed struggle to preserve her country. The young woman, who was Miss Great Ukraine, has 115,000 followers on Instagram and now appears with weapons and in combat gear. She explains there that she trains and threatens the compatriots of Vladimir Putin: “Anyone who crosses the border into Ukraine with the intention of invading the country will be shot!“
A rage and a determination that she says she draws from Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the Ukrainian president, recognized throughout the world for his courage and his patriotism in the difficult times that his people are going through. While the United States offered to help him leave the country discreetly, he refused and continues to take to the streets with his fellow citizens, supported by the international community.
“A real strong leader” for the young Miss, who is determined to play a role in the continuation of this war. And she could indeed have a real weight: in addition to her celebrity and her beauty, she is covered with diplomas and speaks five languages! Following her example, a Ukrainian MP also posted a photo on Twitter with a weapon in her hands.
