It is difficult to make a beautiful lady look more glamorous. The photos are by Annie Leibovitz. There is no one better to conduct the photography. There is no way the genocide in Ukraine can be glamorized. No one is taking this war lightly. It is an incredibly dense war intent on killing an entire race of people.
We know that for a fact.
Setting aside the bombing, the carelessness of the Russian invasion to Chernobyl, the disgusting behavior of Russian troops; the survivors taken to Russia are being assimilated into a Russia culture. It is completely hideous to realize the reason for the invasion is to unite all Russian speaking people and the people taken captive have to be assimilated into the Russian culture including the Russian language. Such assimilation is another definition of genocide. The assault by Putin's Russia is simply unbelievable.
From what I have seen Annie Leibovitz photos are real eye openers. The pictures are definitely parts of this war others have not seen. There is no way to glamorize the stark reality of Ukraine and it's people. I appreciate the photos and the effort to make this horrendous reality palatable.
Russia hates the people of Ukraine. Everyday is a profound reminder of it. This has to be some of the saddest times in the world considering the destruction being rendered by Putin's Russia for absolutely no reason at all.

They were photographed for the international fashion bible by Annie Leibovitz, best known for her photos of A-list celebrities, some of which are idiosyncratic and controversial but are almost always highly stylized and glamorous....
