Women's nightmare (Swiss Press Audio 2026, by Maurine Mercier) - Swiss Press Award

Maurine Mercier

Maurine Mercier gives us a deeply moving account from Chernyhiv. It's very rare. She was able to witness the exchange of captured soldiers. During this exchange, hundreds of women gathered, holding up photos of their loved ones who had died at the front. This report immerses us in their desperate waiting and their search for a miracle among the 150 soldiers who were freed.
