The 38-year-old founder of a group in the Czech Republic that sends volunteer medics to treat Ukrainian soldiers injured during battle against invading Russian forces has died of wounds suffered in March while working on the front lines of the battlefield in eastern Ukraine's Donbas region. The Phoenix Project said on Facebook that the man, who was known only as "Taylor" to protect his family, died on May 15, just over a month after he had been transported to Prague from Ukraine. No further details were given. The Phoenix Project says it has also trained some 5,000 Ukrainians in how to give basic combat medical attention.
