«I will be more useful working with my hands than sitting in the headquarters» - Hospitaller "Rama"

A scientist, biotechnologist, forensic expert - all of these describe the Hospitaller with the eloquent pseudonym "Rama".


In addition to the precise science that Ruslan has researched and implemented all his life, he is also a reserve officer and a lieutenant colonel of the Security Service of Ukraine.


However, from the start of the War, his desire to be useful here and now, and as effectively as possible. This led the scientist first to the volunteer formation of his native community, and then to the ranks of the Hospitallers volunteer battalion.


"Why the Hospitallers? Rational application of my knowledge and experience. By education, I am a molecular biologist, biochemist, and biotechnologist. Medicine has always been close to me. For about ten years, I conducted biological research: working with both victims and corpses and biological material.


Pharmaceuticals were also close to me because I checked the quality of medicines for over six years.


There was an understanding that I would be more effective as a combat medic. I believe that I will be more useful working with my hands than sitting in the headquarters."



A man of many talents, he studies everything with the thoroughness of a scientist.

Moreover, the photos create a false impression - in reality, "Rama" is a very sincere person, smiling and friendly. In the hands of such a medic, the wounded feel calm and safe.


"The core of our crew is me and "Khmel".


With his comrade "Khmel," he has been together throughout the War.

They worked on all levels of evacuation: CASEVAC, MEDEVAC, stabilization point operations, and various directions.


In the Hospitallers, people of different professions or social statuses come together with a common mission: for the sake of every life! Thank you for your work, friend "Rama"!
