A beauty queen who saw her friend killed in the battle for Ukraine says she has a bullet for Russian president Vladimir Putin.
Evgenia Prokopenko, Queen of Ukraine in the Earth 2012 pageant has ditched her heels for to help injured fighters and now save lives on Ukraine's frontline.
And she still take her make-up bag into the trenches.
But the 35-year-old medic's main focus is saving of lives and she says she she has a bullet for Vladimir Putin
The Daily Star reports Evygina said: "I speak Russian fluently, but I don't know Putin's language.
"I don’t know in what language it’s still possible to speak him, because he refuses to understand all the languages of all world's developed countries"
But she has no qualms about using a weapon and given the opportunity will use it.
She said: "I have no words for him, because with Putin we need to act, not talk. I have only a bullet for him."
Evgenia left behind family and loved ones six months ago and headed for the frontline with the Ukrainian Armed Forces which was a complete change from her previous life.
She has seen friends and comrades die, but still manages to cling to some semblance of her life as a beauty queen.
The Miss Earth 2012 finalist, from Kyiv, said: "No matter in what dugout trenches I am in, there is always a makeup bag with a mirror and perfumes in my military backpack!"
Evgenia recognises her life has changed drastically since Putin ordered his "special operation" in late February. And now she moves from battle front to battle front.
And she and her fellow troops liberated the town of Izyum, and neighbouring villages, from Russia.
The area had been occupied for six months before Ukraine took it back.
She said: "These are two very different, opposite lives. In civilian life, I was engaged in completely different things.
"I had my own business, there my 'uniform' was a business dress with heels, on the war a rough military dress and berets.
"Here, at the front, I am a paramedic. I evacuate from red zones (fighting zones) wounded. We provide first aid."
Evgenia, who also saves animals from danger zones, added: "I would never have believed, If someone had told me six months ago that I would be in the Ukrainian Armed Forces, sleeping in dugout trenches or basements, rescuing the wounded under fire.
"My life changed drastically six months ago."
The beauty, who has lived in Kharkiv and Kyiv, said she was able to "adapt" to both sides of her life, in both war and peace times.
She said: "In both lives, I feel pretty organic, because you can adapt and get used to everything. You can sleep very sweetly on a cot and in a sleeping bag in drought trenches!"
"When the worst comes - the injury or death of your friends - you just clench your fists, grit your teeth and do what is necessary."
