Former Ukrainian Beauty Queen Swaps Glamour For Guns To Fight Russian Invasion

A former Miss Grand Ukraine beauty pageant winner has decided to join the Ukrainian army to fight the Russian invasion. Anastasiia Lenna was crowned the winner in 2015 when she was 24 but has decided she can’t simply sit back and do nothing while her country is in trouble.

  1. Anastasiia is no stranger to shooting. Her Instagram feed shows the 31-year-old, who’s been working in Turkey as a public relations manager, firing airsoft bullets from various weapons while donning military clothing and hanging around various training grounds. That means she should be on good footing as she joins the army.
  2. She’s been using Instagram to rally support for Ukraine. Ever since Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine last week, Anastasiia has been calling on her more than 40,000 social media followers to support Ukraine and its resistance efforts. “Everyone who crossed the Ukrainian border with the intent to invade will be killed!” she captioned one photo.
  3. Anastasiia has many ideas about the current political climate in her country. In addition to praising Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelenskyy as a “true and strong leader,” she also called for fellow Ukrainians to remove road signs so that it’s harder for Russians to get around the country. “The enemy has a pathetic connection, they don’t orientate the terrain. Let’s help them go straight to hell,” she wrote.
  4. Ukraine needs people like Anastasiia to fight for the country. And the country also needs people across the world to support its fight to maintain independence.
