A Nash Holos Feature Interview with Nick Buderatsky, a patriotic Ukrainian volunteer who was mentored by legendary combat medic Taira and went on to become a civilian paramedic working on Ukraine's front lines, including Avdiivka and Irpin.

Despite being injured himself, he helped save countless lives — including in Bucha and Irpin, where he set up a mobile field hospital modeled after a M.A.S.H. unit (Mobile Army Surgical Hospital) following the 2022 massacre.

He also is an IT specialist and helped Ukrainian soldiers innovate and improvise when western support lagged.

I met Nick back in 2015 when he took me to visit a Donetsk airport Cyborg in a military hospital in Kyiv. (Story here)
