When the war in Ukraine began in early 2022, few predicted just how deeply its effects would ripple into various industries – including the world of luxury escorting.
At Escorta.com, we've recorded a steady 30% increase in models from Ukraine and nearby countries like Moldova and Belarus over the past three years. This isn’t just a short-term trend – it reflects deeper social and economic shifts.
Educated women with limited options
Many of these women are highly educated, multilingual, and in some cases mothers or the primary providers for their families. For them, entering the luxury escort industry has become a rational decision in an unpredictable world.
The data at a glance
- +30.2% active Ukrainian profiles between March 2022 – March 2025
- Average age: 27 years
- 65% relocated after the war started
- Top relocation cities: Bucharest, Prague, Warsaw, Berlin
At the same time, search trends for terms like “Ukrainian luxury escort” and “Eastern European models” surged across Western Europe, especially in Germany, Switzerland, and the Nordics.
Escorting as economic autonomy?
For many, escorting is more than income – it offers a form of autonomy. In a safe and controlled digital space, women can promote themselves, choose their clients, and set their own schedules – making it a temporary yet financially viable path.
Beyond numbers: real stories
Several Ukrainian models have reached out to share their personal experiences. Some fled violence, others poverty, and some just needed a safe restart.
“I didn’t dream of becoming an escort. I did it because it was the only way to survive and support my family. Here, I found respect and safety.” – M., 29, Kyiv
