Amidst a Russian drone and missile attack on Kyiv, Dr. Borys Todurov transported a donor heart across the city to perform a life-saving transplant on a child. The 10-mile journey through explosions and fires was completed successfully, with the new heart beating in the patient's chest. The donor, a four-year-old girl, was declared brain-dead after suffering serious injuries; her mother consented to organ donation, saving three children's lives. The operation occurred while the Russian assault continued, showcasing Ukrainian medical resilience.
