- The heart was received by an 8-year-old boy from Dnipropetrovsk region.
- The kidneys were received by a 9-year-old boy from Lviv and a 6-year-old child from Vinnytsia region.
- The liver was received by a 17-year-old girl from Kyiv.
The operation was performed by specialists from various medical institutions.
All patients are currently feeling stable after the operations.
