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.
In a fiery declaration, U.S. Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna has vowed to block all future weapons funding for Ukraine over what she calls the persecution of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. Citing President Zelensky’s crackdown on the nation’s largest Christian denomination, Luna, a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, accused Ukraine of violating religious freedoms and warned that the U.S. is "not your piggy bank." Her post comes amid growing criticism in the U.S. of how billions in aid to Ukraine are being used, especially under Trump’s renewed “America First” policy. The issue has gained little attention in U.S. politics, but high-profile voices like Tucker Carlson have echoed similar concerns. The controversy deepens as Zelensky strips top clergy of citizenship and pushes legislation targeting churches with links to Russia. Is Washington finally rethinking its blind support for Kiev?

US President Donald Trump has described Russian President Vladimir Putin as “a professional” who has effectively handled Western sanctions amid the ongoing Ukraine conflict. The remarks followed a one-hour phone call between the two leaders where Trump pressed Putin on ending the war. While acknowledging Moscow’s resilience, Trump hinted that tougher sanctions may be on the way if the conflict continues.
The Kremlin reaffirmed its stance, insisting it would not back down from core goals. Meanwhile, a bipartisan bill in the US Senate proposes a staggering 500% tariff on imports from nations buying Russian energy, escalating the economic pressure. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov dismissed the bill’s backer, Senator Lindsey Graham, as a “Russophobe,” while reiterating Russia’s view that sanctions are illegal and counterproductive. Despite mounting restrictions since 2014, Russia claims its economy has adjusted and domestic industries have strengthened. The geopolitical standoff shows no signs of cooling.

Deadly Ukrainian strikes have rocked Russia’s Borisoglebsk airfield, where fighter jets were stationed for frontline operations. At least 10 massive blasts tore through the facility, igniting fuel depots and damaging aircraft shelters. Local officials scrambled to contain the fires as Kyiv hailed the attack as retaliation for recent missile barrages. Russian media reported panic among personnel and heavy losses on the ground.
