A Co Derry man who spent several weeks rescuing civilians from the front lines of the Ukraine war has said he hopes to return to continue humanitarian efforts.
Craig Patterson, a 30-year-old father-of-four with medical training and experience in emergency situations, described his time in Bakhmut as “really high adrenaline” with “bombs flying everywhere”.
He had travelled to the front-line to work with the charitable 'Global Augmentation Group' and caught up with Belfast Live to share his “heartbreaking” experiences and set out his hopes of returning.
