[EN] A Poodle Named Danger Spreads Joy on the Ukrainian Front | The Fuse #119

from Drošinātājs · host Rihards Plūme, Dīvs Reiznieks

Imagine a scene: In the tense atmosphere of a front-line zone, where people haven't seen a doctor in months, a poodle named Danger, dressed just like the doctors he accompanies, suddenly appears. And immediately, a smile lights up every face! In this episode, we meet Mark Neviazhsky, the founder of "FRIDA Ukraine," the largest volunteer medical mission in Ukraine. He shares insights into the therapeutic power of this extraordinary team member, revealing: "Older people bend down to play with him, children's moods change instantly. It has a therapeutic effect. It works every time, like magic."  Learn how Mark's team provides vital medical assistance to civilians and orphanages with their mobile hospitals. Also, in a conversation with Dīvs Reiznieks, Mark discusses why he, as an Israeli, remained in Ukraine and what parallels he sees between both war-torn countries.  This is a complete interview without translation from the Latvian Radio’s podcast "Drošinātājs" ("The Fuse"), dedicated to the people of Ukraine and their fight against Russian aggression.
