Miss Ukraine Universe 2022 Viktoriia Apanasenko will represent Ukraine in the upcoming Miss Universe pageant

Miss Ukraine Universe 2022 Viktoriia Apanasenko will represent Ukraine in the upcoming 71st Miss Universe pageant. She will not only compete for the title of Miss Universe but also use this platform to draw the world’s attention to the sorrows of the Ukrainian people and fight for the truth and peace on the international informational and cultural front.

The international beauty pageant Miss Universe 2022 started on Jan. 11, 2023, in New Orleans, USA.

The evening dress was created by the famous award-winning Ukrainian designer Ivan Frolov. “It was important for us that our dress became a message on the MISS UNIVERSE platform. Therefore, we created an evening look in black for Viktoriia because, at the moment, we continue to fight and every day, our country suffers terrible losses. The silk plume-flag is a symbol of Ukraine’s blossoming future, our independence and soonest victory,” said Ivan Frolov, founder and creative director of FROLOV.

Designer Lesia Patoka created the outfit “Warrior of Light” for the national costume show. “Our costume “Warrior of Light” is about every Ukrainian here and now. Because we are not about suffering, we are not about deprivation, and we are not about oppression… We are strong, independent, and we always fight to the end,” Lesia Patoka shared.

The final of the competition will take place on Jan. 14, 2023, in New Orleans, USA. We wish luck to Viktoriia and the whole Ukrainian team. Here we gathered Viktoriia’s quotes about participation in the contest and thoughts about Ukraine:
