Crowning of 26-year-old Ukraine born model As Miss Japan sparks debate | Oneindia News

Controversy surrounds the newly crowned Miss Japan 2024, Carolina Shiino, a 26-year-old Japanese model born in Ukraine.

Hailing from Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture, Carolina made history as the first naturalised Japanese citizen to clinch the prestigious title during the contest held in Tokyo on Monday.

Despite her fluency in Japanese, the victory has sparked debates on issues ranging from race to identity.

Carolina, who faced criticism for appearing "too European" according to social media comments, carried the weight of these challenges even as she tearfully accepted her crown.

The win marks a milestone in her journey to be embraced as a true Japanese, sparking conversations about the evolving notions of national identity and beauty standards.

Putin's Final Blow on Kharkiv with Renewed Russia’s Drone blitz; Ukraine’s Belgorod Retaliation

In a critical escalation on Ukraine's northeastern front, Russian troops have made significant advances in the Kharkiv region, expanding the combat zone by approximately 70 kilometers. Ukrainian Colonel-General Oleksandr Syrskyi warned of imminent "heavy battles" as Russian President Vladimir Putin declared the establishment of a "buffer zone" to protect Russia's border regions. The offensive, which began last Friday, has strained Ukrainian defences, already stretched thin over a sprawling front. During a visit to China, Putin linked the offensive to ongoing Ukrainian shelling of Russian border areas, justifying the creation of the buffer zone. A recent Russian missile strike in Kharkiv killed two and injured 25, highlighting the conflict's toll. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy stated that Ukrainian forces have stabilized the front despite losing control of 12 villages. #Putin #Kharkiv #UkraineWar #DroneBlitz #Belgorod #UkraineRetaliation #RussiaUkraineConflict #BufferZone #MilitaryOffensive #KharkivAttack #WarUpdates #EasternFront #UkrainianDefense #RussiaInvasion #ConflictZone ~HT.99~PR.152~ED.194~
