Miss Ukraine Universe 2021 Hanna Nepliakh has appealed for peace and respect for her country.
On Facebook, Hanna raised a card with the words: "Peace in Ukraine." She captioned her post with the hashtag "#AllWeNeedIs peace and respect for the sovereignty of Ukraine."
On Instagram, Feb 25, Hanna wrote: "Today I woke up at 5 am from shots. I would never have thought that living in a civilized society where everyone is shouting about diplomacy, I would write a message to my loved ones 'the war has begun'. Russia launched a full-scale war against Ukraine. Ukrainians don’t want war! We want a peaceful sky and the integrity and independence of our territories."
Fellow Miss Universe candidates from the Philippines, Colombia, and El Salvador sent out their love for Hannah.
The Instagram account of Miss Russia Ralina Arabova is in private mode.
"Let us all pray for Ukraine," wrote Miss Philippines Beatrice Luigi Gomez.
Hanna also appealed for help to her country.
"If you are a foreigner, and you want to help Ukraine, you can:
"1. Share this post and raise awareness, express your point of view. Please don't stay silent.
"2. Check your news sources and double-check the information.
"3. Support the Ukrainian Army by donating to the Ukrainian Armed Forces. @savelife.in.ua is a trustable fund that helps the Ukrainian Army since 2014. You can donate from abroad: https://savelife.in.ua/en/donate/
