A former Miss Ukraine has donned army boots and picked up an assault rifle and vowed that anyone “who crosses the Ukrainian border with the intent to invade will be killed”.
Anastasia Lenna, who represented her country in the 2015 Miss Grand International beauty contest, has signed up to defend her home from Russian forces.
“Everyone who crosses the Ukrainian border with the intent to invade will be killed!” a message posted on her Instagram on Saturday said.
It was accompanied by a photo of armed soldiers blocking a road.
Another post said: “Our (Ukraine’s) army is fighting in such a way that NATO should apply for entry into Ukraine.”
She also posted a photo showing soldiers walking with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who she called “a true and strong leader”.
