Unique operations in Ukraine – what was reported

In the summer in Lviv, surgeons performed an operation that helped save a man’s leg from amputation . For the first time in Ukraine, doctors used such a large bast shoe for transplantation – 15 cm.

It also became known that a super-complicated operation was performed in Kiev – a splinter was removed from a working heart to a soldier .

The VOG grenade launcher round is a 40 mm fragmentation ammunition for grenade launchers, which combines a grenade and a propellant in a cartridge case.
