Miss Universe #Ukraine 2022 #ViktoriaApanasenko took to her official social media to reveal the national costume that she will be showcasing at the 71st Miss Universe pageant during the national costume competition.

The national costume is called Warrior of Light and designed by costume designer Lesia Patoka. It symbolizes her nation's fight against the darkness, like an archangel Michael with a sword protecting Ukraine. The costume was made in four months, in extreme conditions.
