Alina Ponomarenko from Odesa, who won the title of Miss Universe Ukraine 2024, will represent her homeland at the international beauty pageant Miss Universe 2024, which will be attended by Russian women. The model admitted that she is mentally preparing for possible provocations from contestants from a hostile state, as she wants to represent her country in the international arena with dignity.

She noted that despite the fact that the organizers of the competition are trying to stay "out of politics," they have been doing everything possible to avoid conflicts since the beginning of the full-scale war. The 21-year-old told about this in an interview with "Briefly About".

"I think it is important to be mentally prepared for such situations, to remember your values, and to have the support of your team. It's not easy, but we are working on it to represent our country in the international arena with dignity," the model said.

According to Alina Ponomarenko, the organizing committee of Miss Universe Ukraine appealed to the leaders of the international beauty pageant to deprive the Russian representatives of the opportunity to participate in the competition. However, despite all the arguments, the request was rejected.

"But in fact, the organizers of Miss Universe do their best to avoid conflict situations at the pageant. If earlier Ukrainians and Russians were always in the same group, could be roommates, attended the same events together, now Ukraine and Russia hardly ever intersect," the girl said.

Previously, the organizers of the international beauty pageant have repeatedly tried to create the illusion of "friendship" between participants from warring states. In 2023, Miss Universe Ukraine, a singer and volunteer from Kyiv, Angelina Usanova, was seated at the same table as Russian Margarita Golubeva at a welcome party in El Salvador. The representative of the aggressor country tried to look as friendly as possible, while the contestant from our homeland was openly unhappy with the neighborhood.

In the same year, Russian Anna Linnikova tried to stand next to Ukrainian Victoria Apanasenko during a joint photo shoot of the Miss Universe beauty contestants. However, despite all the attempts of the representative of the enemy state to make a provocative hint of "friendship," our compatriot avoided a conflict situation.
