How much do you know about what’s going in Ukraine? Obviously we get daily news bulletins from the mainstream media which give a view on major events but what about the stuff we don't hear about?
What everyday life is like for civilians?
Why people from other countries volunteer either on a humanitarian basis or as a soldier? What are their backgrounds? How are they received?
How do the Ukrainian people see an end to the war?
To help answer these questions and many more, I am joined by Matt Gallagher. Matt is a US Army veteran who volunteered and helped civilians at the start of the war in 2022 and then returned again in 2023 as a journalist. His experiences led him to publish his fourth novel, Daybreak which takes place in present day Ukraine and features a disillusioned American volunteering for the war and to reconnect with a woman from his past.
I found the novel very powerful as it is set in the present with a war still going on. It certainly helped me understand it from a human level.
I hope you enjoy the episode, that it helps further your own understanding and answers some of those unanswered questions.
