Other countries have the same stereotypes, eg sexy spanish women, Brazillian latinas, pale skinned black haired northern eurasians, scandanavians, and so on. Hot Russian and Ukrainian notion will manifest from someone who holds that archetype to be highly attractive. The others in some other way.
In the US this is influenced by war, like most things. Asian women became exotic and desireable after WW2, and continued on with vietnam and korea. During the cold war you has the mysterious iron curtain, Soviet male order brides, etc. This has an effect. The enemy must be so because he is competent and a legitimate threat to you. Therefore, his women must be equally intriguing.
