Words of Viktoria Apanasenko Miss Ukraine 2022:
"Throughout these months I’ve clearly learnt one thing… It’s not beauty that will save the World. The saviors will be real people, warriors of light. They aren’t armed with bullets, missiles or artillery. Their power consists of their actions, helpfulness, fortitude, compassion and love.

I express my deep gratitude and endless respect to the men and women who defend Ukraine while putting their lives at risk and thus giving us a chance to continue living ours.
I’m so proud of our volunteers and every Ukrainian who despite all the terror manage to keep the spark of goodness, compassion and faith in their hearts.
We are gratefull to all other countries for their unfailing support of Ukraine.

Our unity and courage have amazed the World. Despite the deep pain and sufferings, lives ruined or even extinguished we will stand till the end. Until our victory.

I’ll continue fighting for the truth and peace on the international informational and cultural front.
My mission is to speak in a voice of every Ukrainian women, and tell their stories.
In a voice of a Ukrainian mother, who lost her son on the front line.
In a voice of the wives of captive soldiers who wait at home.
In voices of women in the military and paramedics who demonstrate courage protecting Ukraine and saving the lives of our soldiers.
In a voice of a Ukrainian girl sending a text to her loved one on the front line: “You promissed me to return alive. I’m waiting for you at home”.

I’m heading “Miss Universe” to draw the World’s attention to the sorrows of Ukrainian people and call for all possible measures to stop Russia and cease its despicable and unjust war.
I will compete… not for my… for our victory! 🇺🇦And may the entire world see that our spirit is impossible to break. Our hearts, our souls, our faith are relentless. Yesterday, today and forever. 🙏🏻"
