Tens of thousands of women across Ukraine have bravely taken to the battlefield to fight alongside their male counterparts amid Russia's ongoing war — but many of these women are defending their country in uniforms several sizes too large, according to a new Daily Beast report.

No. Can’t say I have. I was married since 1973 (and my late wife was part Russian from 1800s legal immigrants and she was definitely beautiful).
Some time in the past few decades the Russian and various Slavic models became a big trend. No longer supposed to look like Khrushchev’s wife Nina:

Not buying this.
I wonder if this affects the women of both sexes?
What a strange story. Sounds like bs.
>>>Fake news. Ukraine is totally kicking Russia’s ass.

That’s right. Ukraine has been winning this war for at least 14 months. Why hasn’t Russia gotten the memo I wonder. LMAO!
Hasn’t anyone told the Business Insider that “men” and “women” are outdated concepts?
And no one has to go the toilet outside at 4F since global warming.
LOL!
