In praising its population the online magazine notes: ‘A visit to Kyiv is truly awe-inducing and it’s almost hard to believe that women this beautiful even exist.

‘And for anyone who thinks that beautiful women must be vapid as well, Ukrainian women are ready to disprove that theory.

‘The women in the country are well educated and always ready to talk about literature or philosophy.’

Russia’s team was also knocked out in the group stage to the Greek team, who are renown for winning ugly on the pitch.

But men in Moscow were more likely than most to have a beautiful shoulder to cry on, with their city rated as having the world’s sixth most attractive females.

Travelers Digest’s says: ‘This may surprise the cold-war generation who grew up believing the stereotypes of Russian women being plain and ordinary.

‘A quick visit to Moscow should set you straight on that front. Think tall, blonde or brunette and blue-eyed goddesses.

‘That’s not to say these girls are easy to talk to; Russians can be an intimidating bunch.’

Stockholm is on the second on this list, with the website saying: ‘What you have seen on the beer commercials is true; Sweden really does
have some of the world’s most beautiful women.

‘The streets of Stockholm
are literally packed with these gorgeous women, who are as tall as they
are luscious.

‘Even better, is that Scandinavians are world renowned for
their friendliness, so there’s a good chance that the girl you’re eyeing
is actually a sweet and down to earth person.’

The only American city that makes the list is third placed New York.

The website notes: ‘New York was a close
call for the number-one spot. Because New York is a melting pot of so
many different cultures and ethnicities, the city has some of the most
diverse and beautiful women in the world.
