It's actually not the same image, the one on the site is a straight-on shot, the one in Nia's post has a slight twist and very different shading, the effort to make those edits from that source would not be worthwhile at all I'm sure they borrowed a different image from elsewhere.
It absolutely is angled, on 2 axes even. It's so slight it's a bit hard to tell, most obvious around the bottom.
I am 99% certain that image you found is not the source they used. It's more likely from a stock image webpage, possibly one that didn't make it clear it was a Russian craft.
Shadows and angle are a perfect match, and makes no mention of the crafts name or origin, so if they licensed it out as stock those sites would probably be missing it too.
So yeah in the end a dumb mistake, but not as bad as getting it directly from a page that clearly stated "Russian craft, do not use if your company has recently banned all of Russia" :P

Since it never really flew, I could chalk it up to simply not knowing about it. But yeah, always check your sources.
They literally used the image from this website:
Ah, and just like that it's fixed. Yall are welcome. 👍
Can I get some appeals pushed through while we're at it.

I mean I don't think it's more of an angled shot but couldn't an angular glare be applied?
