“The Warrior of Light costume symbolizes Ukraine nation’s fight against darkness. Like Archangel Michael, who defends Ukraine with a sword, it protects us.“
I've never really followed any beauty pageants, but after seeing Miss Ukraine's Warrior of Light costume, from the Miss Universe pageant, I had to make a minifig of it.
I'm really excited with how her wings turned out, and like the actual costume I built her wings to be able to fold out
it was so appropriate and so purely journalistic "and generally ambiguous" to chant 'they not gonna get us' (tatu nas ne dogonyat ) wow nothing happened AT ALL that MYSTERIOUS RUSSIAN SOUL UNDER THE RED SILK VUAL SO NAS NE DOGONYAT NAS NE DOGONYAT VERY NE VSYO TAK ODNOZNACHNO

"1.6 million Ukrainians have been forcibly deported to Russia
by the Russian Army. They go through “filtration camps” where families are often separated and then sent as far as

have also voluntarily fled into Europe, and 7 million are internally displaced in Ukraine."
