These victories are a significant achievement for Ukraine on the global stage and once again confirm the high level of preparation of Ukrainian representatives, their beauty, charisma, intelligence, leadership qualities, and ability to represent their country with dignity at the international level.
The National Director of Mrs. Globe Ukraine, Iryna Keller, noted that Ukraine is celebrating a historic result, as both main crowns of the world competition are now in the hands of Ukrainians.
“This is not just a beauty pageant victory. It is recognition of the strength, resilience, charisma, and inner beauty of Ukrainian women. We have once again proven to the world that Ukrainian women are among the brightest, most talented, and most deserving representatives of modern womanhood, and that Ukraine is a country of strong and extraordinary women,” Keller said.
“I am extremely proud of our winners and the entire Ukrainian team that represented our country with dignity on the world stage,” she added.
It is also worth noting that during the official Globe Awards 2026 ceremony, the national director of Mrs. Globe Ukraine, Iryna Keller, received the honorary international award “Director of the Year”.
This distinction recognizes many years of work, the high level of preparation of Ukrainian representatives, and a significant contribution to the development of the international Mrs. Globe movement. Receiving the award became another confirmation of Ukraine’s authority on the global pageant stage and the result of systematic work in supporting, developing, and promoting Ukrainian women at the international level.
This result is a testament to the strength, talent, determination, and indomitable spirit of Ukrainian women, who represent their country with dignity on the world stage and inspire the world with their example.
