10 Beautiful Ukrainian Women Who Deserve Our Respect (5 of 5)

Anastasiia Kamenskykh

Known professionally as NK, Kamenskykh is a famous pop and R&B singer from Kyiv. From an early age, she dreamed of working in the entertainment industry, so she attended music school as well as ballet school. She went on to perform ballet for eight years. She has won numerous awards for her singing — which she does in Ukrainian, Spanish and English — and has collaborated with several Grammy Award-winning artists from around the world.

Dasha Astafieva

This Dnipro-born singer, actress, and model is the 2007 Playmate of the Year for Ukrainian Playboy and the 55th Anniversary Playmate for American Playboy. Aside from being one of the most elegant women in the country, she has also a lot of courage and bravery within herself. Since the Russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Astafieva has joined the volunteer movement and became known for peeling the freaking big amount of potatoes to feed the Kyiv teroborona (civil defense) soldiers.
