Russian woman Linnikova tried to take a picture near Miss Ukraine Universe, but the provocation failed: the moment was caught on video.
The Russian woman's attempt to stealthily sneak up on the Ukrainian woman failed. During a joint photo session of the participants of the Miss Universe beauty contest, Russian Anna Linnikova tried to stand next to Ukrainian contestant Victoria Apanasenko. However, the provocation and allusion to "friendship" did not succeed, because the Ukrainian woman noticed the approach of a competitor from an enemy country in time. The Ukrainian Observer writes about this.
She managed to avoid a scandal and the wrong impression that the reason of the Russian woman could provoke. The moment was caught on video and spread on TikTok (to see the photo and video. scroll to the bottom of the page).
The video shows that all the girls have already stood in two rows, when a participant from Russia began to approach them. Among all the possible places, she chose to stand next to the Ukrainian woman.
Having understood the intentions of the Russian, Victoria Apanasenko stepped back and grabbed the contestant next to her, not allowing her to give way to Linnikova. However, even the fact that there is one participant between them did not suit the beauty.
