Ukrainian doctor drives a child’s heart through Russian attack to perform a life-saving transplant

1. Kyiv was burning as Dr. Borys Todurov sped through the city in an ambulance, undeterred by the deep thuds of explosions and the terrifying sounds of Russian drones flying overhead.

   He was determined to deliver his precious cargo: [a human heart](https://www.cnn.com/2025/07/11/europe/ukrainian-doctor-heart-transplant-intl?utm_medium=social&utm_source=reddit).

   Todurov’s patient – a child – was seriously ill in a hospital. He had hours to act.

   The child has been living with a heart disease for several years, but her condition deteriorated earlier this week and Todurov knew a new heart was her only chance.

   So when one became available from a child donor on the opposite side of the city, he didn’t wait for the Russians to stop attacking.

   Russia has ramped up its aerial attacks against Ukraine in recent weeks. It fired more than 400 drones and 18 missiles, including eight ballistic and six cruise missiles overnight into Thursday.

2. What a fucking hero. Seriously. This guy has the balls and the heart we should all aspire to

3. For fucks sake heart transplants are fuckin difficult as they are without Russian scum bombing the city!
