Some historians believe this is partly based on the fact that eastern Europe was spared the influence of the reformation and the European witch-hunt, which severely depleted the gene pool of beautiful women in western Europe .
There are still very terse relations between Belarus and Ukraine, stemming from the Ukraine collaboration with the Germans and massacred Belorussians during the great patriotic war (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khatyn_massacre). Also, things are much better in Belarus so I don't see why their women would run off with Ukrainian boys when they can have real men in Belarus.
Agree 100%. Most beautiful women are in Belarus.
