But I also found that if my country is in the middle of a war participating in a beauty pageant would probably not be the first thing to do now.

She's probably not much of an artillery gunner. Maybe this is her best way of supporting, and advocating for, her country with an international platform.

Petty insensitive organisers seeking media attention to promote their show for that ultimate motivator - money.

QE2 repaired and drove trucks for the army during WW2. If even HM can do that 70 years ago I'm sure there's more beneficial things that this Ukrainian can do for her country than parading herself on stage in a swimsuit.

You’ve got to be kidding me….

What can garner the attention of the World more than having a spokesperson (Ukrainian woman) center stage at an internationally televised and reported event. Far greater impact than turning a wrench for the troops albeit that too is a noble contribution.

The choice to stay in the room or not with a representative of a morally bankrupt government (Russia who’s government troops murder innocent women, children and elderly and torturer to death others) has implications in both respects.

Any country that puts their own self interest above stopping the interest of the little Nazi coward (Putin) and his minions is culpable in the appeasement that allows this to continue.
