Kyiv still stands: Ex-Miss Ukraine takes up arms to fight off Putin's army as video shows destroyed Russian convoy on outskirts of city
Daily Mail ^ | 2/27/2022 | Lauren Lewis

Ukrainian forces in Kyiv have destroyed a column of Russian vehicles in the city's northwest after surviving a 'brutal' night of shelling.

Volunteers, among them the former Miss Ukraine Anastasiia Lenna, have taken up arms to fight off Vladimir Putin's army, with 'long queues' of citizens waiting to be issued weapons at recruitment centres in Kyiv.

-snip-

Lenna, who won the Miss Ukraine competition in 2015, posted an image of herself on Instagram as she announced she had joined the country's resistance against Russian troops.

Lenna, who usually works as a public relations manager in Turkey, posted the image alongside two hashtags - stand with Ukraine and hands off Ukraine.

It is not the first time she has been pictured with a gun and previous posts appear to show her training with weapons in wooded arenas and indoor training grounds.

She joins hundreds of volunteers, among them a man with a prosthetic leg and a young couple who brought forward their wedding from May to tie the knot before joining the civil defence force the next day.

Blow up the picture bolt and you well see no forward assist notches and no cuts for the dust cover.

I don’t know if she does or not, if that’s just a s#!+post. But the look and feel is right, and it’s funny even if she doesn’t.

Unfortunately, the image does not open in any app I have so I cannot blow it up to look closely, but the ‘thingy’ you refer to appears to be an empty wire enclosure, not like the filled in ones on the site you referenced. I could be wrong and its not worth my spending time on.

It’s an AR15 Carbine of some sort, decked out with a FF Handguard and flip up iron sights and a holographic electronic sight of some make. Very common in the world these days, for a good reason.

Its definitely not worth your time but I can assure you that is an Airsoft rifle. The purpose of the screen is to protect the optic from BBs which NO real AR has - NONE zero ZILCH.

The girl was virtue signaling. Either way who cares really but its cringey the media is passing it off as a real weapon.

Except that it’s an airsoft rifle, NOT a real weapon.

Even if it was a real weapon it wouldn’t be one for long in a fight.

With only one magazine.

Additional, that image is from after the German surrender and locals where “conscripted” to clean up the streets.

Dont get me wrong, slavic women can be tough. Look at WWII Russian sniper women - however this is idiotic virtue signaling for likes on the gram.

It’s truly astounding the agit prop the globalist west is pimping

Nearly all has been debunked

It says for more danger for our state of affairs than what Putin doing in Ukraine and how it affects us

95% of our mass info is compromised by people with an agenda anathema to American nationalism
