As a reminder, Miss Ukraine 2024 was held live for the first time in three years. The national beauty pageant has existed for more than 30 years, and the titleholder traditionally represents the country in the international arena as Miss World. This year, the pageant team decided to use the platform as a platform for help and focused on supporting women who are defending Ukraine at the front. The funds raised during the show will be transferred to the "Zemliachky" public organization, which closes requests for military women's uniforms, ammunition, and shoes.
