In November 2024, The Face published a cover story about a struggle that has, until recently, remained largely invisible: what it’s like to be a queer soldier fighting in Ukraine, a country fully mobilised against an existential threat to its existence.
In Serhiy Morgunov’s extraordinary report, which was photographed by Jesse Glazzard and creatively produced by Eugenia Skvarska, the trio worked with the Ukrainian LGBTQ+ Military and Veteran for Equal Rights to speak to soldiers about their experiences. They focused on three men, Oleh, Oleksandr and Vlad, documenting what it’s like to be on the front line of two fights: one for country, and one, as Serhiy put it, for “civil rights, tolerance and acceptance.”
