  • A Canadian Officer Resigns to Join Belarusians Fighting for Ukraine, Part 3
    Join us for a firsthand account of life on and near the battlelines in Eastern Ukraine by Dave Smith, a former Canadian infantry officer who resigned to fight for Ukraine. This is the third episode in our multi-part series where Dave explores the evolving tactics and motivations that define the conflict. He offers listeners a deep dive into the experiences of soldiers and citizens that’s brimming with insights into how the geopolitical climate —including the election of former American President Donald Trump and the arrival of North Korean troops in Russia’s Kursk region — shape Ukrainian optimism despite the war weariness. J. Alex Tarquinio (https://x.com/alextarquinio) and Frank Radford, our hosts in TheDelegates Lounge, (https://x.com/delegateslounge) had three conversations with Dave Smith. The hosts spoke from New York, while Dave spoke from Ukraine via web conference in July and October, and from London in November.ReferencesIn a background briefing by the U.S. Department of Defense in October, the Pentagon estimated that Russia had sustained at least 600,000 casualties, including killed and wounded, since launching its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Some estimates range much higher.https://www.defense.gov/News/Transcripts/Transcript/Article/3932364/a-senior-defense-and-military-official-host-a-background-briefing-on-russias-wa/The Pentagon estimated in November that 11,000 North Korean troops had moved into Russia’s Kursk region.https://www.defense.gov/News/News-Stories/Article/Article/3968230/north-korean-troops-enter-kursk-where-ukrainians-are-fighting/Radio Free Europe published an article last year citing some Russian contract soldiers and their families claiming that the state hadn’t honored payments or pardons promised in their contracts. A Reuters photo in the article was reminiscent of the Squid Games drama.https://www.rferl.org/a/russia-systema-investigation-contract-soldiers-pay-pardons-promises-broken/32676712.htmlWe shared some of our guest’s bylines with listeners in the show notes for the firstepisode in this mini-series. Here is his latest essay about his life in Kharkiv for the online magazine Merion West.https://merionwest.com/2024/11/27/at-home-in-the-war/
