The project, photographed by Kostiantyn Liberov, aims to redefine beauty and inspire resilience in women who have experienced trauma. The women, who include a sniper, drone operator, and captain in the Armed Forces, share their stories of survival and recovery. The magazine highlights their strength and celebrates their enduring beauty.
