According to Vice World News, an online platform that specializes in matchmaking Chinese men with Eastern European women, the trend of searching for Ukrainian women has doubled since Russia launched a military offensive in Ukraine.
Russian businessman Pavel Stepanets, owner of a matchmaking service called Meilishka, said the number of clients asking for a Ukrainian woman has increased from five to 10 every day.

“Currently, many customers are asking for a Ukrainian girl to pair up with,” Mr. Stepanets said.
“The client understands that young Ukrainian girls are extremely upset and thinks China will be a safe place to live. Therefore, Chinese men think that Ukrainian women also want to marry Chinese men,” added Stepanets.
On the Meilishka website, there are currently 748 Slavic women willing to learn and marry a Chinese man. Among Slavic women, Ukrainian girls are the most sought after.
“To tell the truth, Ukrainian women are now considered one of the most beautiful groups of women in the world,” emphasized Stepanets.
Sharing with Vice, Mr. Stepanets said that Chinese men like Eastern European women because “they don’t ask for money” like Chinese women. Beauty standards are also part of the reason why Chinese men are determined to conquer Eastern European girls, because “the story of marrying a blonde, white-skinned girl is a symbol of a successful Chinese man”.
Mr. Stepanets opened a dating club in 2017 and charges between 6,700 and 80,000 yuan ($1,060 to $12,700) for a Chinese man who wants to date women from Russia, Ukraine and Belarus. In particular, women who can speak Mandarin and have a youthful and beautiful appearance have higher brokerage fees.
According to Stepanets, about 70 Chinese men are joining the dating club and there are eight to nine couples who have been married through brokerage services.
“In fact, Ukrainian women are beautiful and willing to marry a middle-class man to escape the war and the stagnant national economy,” Stepanets said.
The one-child policy, which was enforced from 1980 to 2015 in China, has caused a serious gender imbalance, leaving millions of Chinese men unable to find a wife when they reach marriageable age.
According to Foreign Policy, Chinese media once suggested that Ukrainian women could be the solution to solve the problem of gender imbalance in the country of billions of people.
Matchmaking between Chinese men and Ukrainian women is not a recent occurrence. Typically, the Ulove pairing service, founded in 2018 by Max Mei, also known as Mei Aisi, a Chinese citizen, has also “made a fortune” when it comes to searching and matchmaking for young people. “high-quality” Chinese men with Ukrainian women. Mei himself is also married to a Ukrainian opera singer.
Speaking to the South China Morning Post (SCMP), Mr. Mei said that the idea to set up a brokerage website was born after he received many comments from Chinese friends that marrying a Ukrainian wife proved He is a “successful person in life”.
Mei became the most popular role model in China when she married a Ukrainian girl 12 years younger than him in 2014. For many Chinese men, Mei’s life is an utopia.
Because Mei comes from a working-class family in Hebei province. In 2001, after failing the university entrance exam, Mei went to Ukraine to look for new opportunities even though she didn’t know anything about the Eastern European country.
Met during a game of table tennis in 2010, Mei was 28 years old then and Daria was just a 16 year old girl. But fate pushed them to make the two fall in love and get married.
Many people have messaged to ask about Mei’s experience of getting a beautiful wife. And from here, Mei decided to open a marriage brokerage service called Ulove. When joining the Ulove club, a Chinese man will have to pay thousands of dollars to find and date a Ukrainian woman.
On the social networking account Douyin, Mei has up to 1.6 million followers and specializes in posting videos about her life with her beautiful wife in a villa in Ukraine. Most of Mei’s videos make many “red eyes” with jealousy when recording images of his Ukrainian wife dancing, walking the catwalk or swimming in the pool.
