Deported, Denied, Determined: A Ukrainian Woman's Forced Journey from Russia to Switzerland

Title: Deported, Denied, Determined: A Ukrainian Woman's Forced Journey from Russia to Switzerland
Runtime: 13:24
Date posted: 1 year ago
Description: Natalia, a 40-year-old Ukrainian woman, lived in Moscow for over 15 years. After the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, she fled with her Russian husband to avoid his mobilization. But when they returned to Russia, she was stopped at the border, interrogated by FSB officers, and banned until 2044 — simply for saying “I am for peace in the world.”

Now in Switzerland, Natalia has been denied S protection status because she didn’t flee directly from Ukraine. She lives under F status — a more limited form of temporary admission — separated from her husband and parents.

This is closeUp — a new first-person mini-documentary format directed by Elena Servettaz, filmed and cut by Céline Stegmüller.

On Inside Geneva this week, we ask whether the United Nations (UN) and multilateralism have a future.

“Is the UN anachronistic? I mean, it was formed after the Second World War. Obviously, it’s getting a little bit dusty,” says political analyst Daniel Warner.

Younger generations from the Global South tell us where
they see the UN’s flaws.

“The countries of the Global North have not stood up to the ideals that they have created in an equitable manner. It’s simply like preaching water and drinking wine,” says Pratyush Sharma from the Global South Centre of Excellence in Dehli.

“The United Nations Security Council is absolutely inefficient in dealing with the reality of people, especially from the Global South,” continues Marilia Closs from Plataforma CIPÓ in Brazil.

Description: Why is vanilla so expensive? In our documentary, The vanilla connection - from Madagascar fields to Swiss flavors, we uncover the tumultuous journey of this beloved spice, from the lush fields of Madagascar to high-end products on the global market. We learn that vanilla comes at a high cost not just for consumers but also for the environment and livelihoods of farmers. In the lush region of Sava, we meet farmers like Jean Marco, who face the harsh realities of fluctuating prices, theft, and crop diseases, all while striving to provide for their families. And Jean Patrick – a success story amid market booms and busts. See how traders scramble to secure the spice in remote villages and how the high demand for vanilla drives deforestation and creates economic strain in local communities. We show you the intricate process of cultivating and curing vanilla, revealing the labor-intensive efforts behind each fragrant pod.

“It is fine for Instagram or TikTok to realise that I am into biking and then try to sell me bikes. That’s fine. That’s a product. Manipulate me to sell me that.

In Ukraine, and in the Middle East, men say they are negotiating peace. But are they?

“Ending war is necessary to peace without a doubt, but ending war does not mean peace. So, whenever these men use the word ‘peace’ in order to say ‘ceasefire’ and ‘stop the guns’, this is not peace,” says Deborah Schibler from PeaceWomen across the Globe (PWAG).

“What the US is doing right now is an extractivist assertion of power, arguably even a second imperial ambition that we are seeing now alongside Russia. Democracy, peace and gender equality mutually reinforce each other,” adds Leandra Bias from the Universtiy of Bern.

So, where are the women in these “peace” negotiations? Our guests tell Inside Geneva that they should be everywhere... not nowhere.

On Inside Geneva this week, we take a step back from the breaking news and talk to the authors of two books about the better side of humanity.

“The defence of human rights is not a matter of holding a candle and singing Kumbaya. The defence of human rights is about playing hardball. It's about putting pressure on governments, making them realise that repression isn't paying because the consequences are so severe,” says Kenneth Roth, author of Righting Wrongs.

Those consequences apply to violations of the laws of war – laws that are much stricter than you might think.

“One can speak about the leaders of a war of aggression as having individual criminal responsibility. If it’s illegal for the leader, maybe it’s illegal also for the soldiers who participate in it. And maybe it’s a violation not just to kill civilians on the other ...
