History edit

Ukraine has always sent its representatives to compete at the Miss Grand International since 2013.[11] Nonetheless, its first three representatives were all appointed to the title; no respective national pageant was held. In 2016, the license was transferred to Diva Fashion Group, the Queen of Ukraine (Ukrainian: Королева Украины) pageant organizer chaired by Natalia Kovaleva;[1][5][6] the Ukrainian representatives have been selected through the mentioned national contest since then.[2][3][12][13]

In 2022, due to the 2022 Russo-Ukrainian War, the national contest of the Queen of Ukraine, which was usually held in Kyiv, was temporarily moved to Wiesbaden, Germany, where the pageant was organized on a smaller scale and aimed to raise funds to support displaced Ukrainian people in Germany.[13][14]
