It’s inevitable: the meeting between Miss Russia Anna Linnikova and Miss Ukraine Viktoria Apanasenko at the 71st Miss Universe Competition in New Orleans, Louisiana on Jan. 14 (Jan. 15, Manila time).

So what will Miss Russia say to Miss Ukraine when they meet in the prestigious beauty pageant?

According to a report by mirror.co.uk, Miss Russia refused to answer the question. But Miss Ukraine has been talking about “evil” and “cruelty” inflicted on her country by Russian President Vladimir Putin.

In the same article written by Will Stewart and Ryan Fahey, Miss Ukraine cited the importance of talking about the war.

“We must be a reliable rear for our Armed Forces.

“We need the support of other countries to save the lives of our people and stop the cruelty of Russia.

“I am aware of my responsibility to be one of Ukraine’s ambassadors in the international arena at such a difficult and terrible time.

“But I am Ukrainian – we are brave, strong and determined.

“No matter what, I believe that together we can defeat the evil that has come to our lands.”

Russia has launched a large-scale invasion of Ukraine since February.

The same report also said that Putin is seeking to weaponize Miss Russia by giving state backing to her. Putin did not go into details.
