Crimea competed at Miss Grand International again in 2022 after the franchise was granted to a Hong Kong-based television producer, Sasha Waseem, and a 29-year-old model and the organizer of Miss Tourism Crimea from Kerch, Yulia Pavlikova, was appointed as that year's representative;[3][4][8] however, Yulia also went unplaced.[9] After the competition, Yulia reported to some Crimean media that the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian War made the organizer not allow her to qualify for the final 20.[10]
