Former Miss Ukraine Takes Up Gun To Fight Against Russia's Invasion

A FORMER Miss Ukraine "has taken up arms" to fight against the Russian invasion and says "anyone crossing the border will be killed".

Anastasia Lenna, Ukraine’s 2015 representative in the Miss Grand International beauty contest, shared a post on social media showing herself armed up and ready to defend her home.“Everyone who crosses the Ukrainian border with the intent to invade will be killed!” she said in an Instagram story on Saturday, accompanied by a photo of armed soldiers blocking a roadway.

She also posted a photo to her 97,000 followers showing soldiers walking with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, whom she called a “a true and strong leader.”

On February 21, 2022, the Russian president recognised two breakaway areas of Donetsk and Luhansk as independent.
