History
editUntil 18 July 2020, Borodino belonged to Tarutyne Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Odesa Oblast to seven. The area of Tarutyne Raion was merged into Bolhrad Raion.[4][5]
Until 26 January 2024, Borodino was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Borodino became a rural settlement.[6]
In September 2024, Borodino was renamed to Budzhak as a part of the derussification campaign.[7]

The settlement is connected by road with Artsyz, where there are further connections to Odesa. Other roads cross into Moldova.
