Doctors at the Leleka Multidisciplinary Medical Center in Kyiv have performed a unique surgery on a pregnant woman with a rare pathology, placental accretion, which poses extremely high risks to the life and health of mother and child.
As the clinic told Interfax-Ukraine, the operation was performed on a patient who was pregnant for the third time, but the pregnancy was complicated and the woman was diagnosed with placenta accreta spectrum at an early stage.
“After the pathology was detected, the doctors the couple consulted assured them that the patient would not be able to bear and give birth to a child. Moreover, even if she succeeded, the uterus would have to be removed. She was also warned about the risks to her life. But they unanimously sent her for an abortion. This is a very rare pathology,” Leleka says.
However, after numerous consultations in various clinics, the patient turned to Leleka, where they took on this complex case, the main risk of which is a large blood loss.
“This is not an ordinary caesarean section. Such a manipulation requires a multidisciplinary approach, several specialists in different fields should work with the woman in labor using the latest technologies and modern equipment. That is why the operation involved a team of three teams of surgeons – obstetricians, gynecologists, urologists and vascular surgeons – who worked according to a clear algorithm. As a result, a complex organ-preserving operation was performed: a corporal cesarean section with placental excision and metroplasty,” the clinic said.
The team of doctors used blood-saving technologies, including an aortic balloon and a modern Cell saver (autohemotransfusion system), which minimized blood loss and reduced the use of donor blood.
“The doctors managed to perform a successful operation. The woman in labor managed to preserve her uterus and, if she wishes, she can become a mother for the fourth time,” the clinic said.
The patient and her newborn daughter are now at home, both healthy and feeling well.

Cyprus-based Weplay Media Holding Limited, a member of the Ukrainian Parimatch group, has filed an administrative lawsuit against Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy with the Supreme Court as the court of first instance, demanding that the sanctions imposed on the company by his March 10 decree be lifted as unlawful.
According to the court’s ruling of August 10, published in the court register, the court opened the proceedings, involved the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) and the National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) as third parties, and scheduled the case for consideration by a five-member panel of the Administrative Court of Cassation on September 5.
The case specifies that Weplay Media Holding is associated exclusively with the ownership of intellectual property rights (trademarks, software) and a share in the authorized capital of Pokermatch.ua LLC.
At the same time, this case is not on the list of cases to be considered by the court on September 5.
At the same time, several similar cases challenging the sanctions imposed by presidential decrees are scheduled for September 6. In particular, these are the lawsuits filed by businessman and former MP Vadym Novynskyi (sanctions imposed by a decree of December 1, 2022), Skyrizon President Du Tao (decree of January 29, 2021), former head of Odesa Customs Mykhailo Hribanov (decree of April 21, 2021), Epival Energy LLC (decree of March 25, 2021), and the head of the Shariy Party Olha Bondarenko (decree of August 20, 2021).
Three more similar cases are scheduled to be heard on September 7, and another 10 on September 11.
As reported, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy enacted the decision of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine (NSDC) to impose sanctions on 120 individuals and 287 legal entities by a decree of March 10.
The sanctioned betting companies and lotteries include Ukrainian Parimatch LLC, Leo Financial Company, PokerMatchUA, Your Betting Company, and PlayFan Investment.
The new sanctions also affected Parimatch United Investments Limited (UK), Fullgear Investments Ltd, Auspicia Limited (both Cyprus), Suncast Furure N.V. (Curacao, the Netherlands), and Parimatch Foundation Limited (Cyprus).
In August 2023, Ukraine increased exports of agricultural products by 16% compared to the previous month – up to 4.3 million tons, and this is without taking into account the growing queues of vehicles at the borders, according to the Ukrainian Agribusiness Club (UCAB).
“Such export volumes in August 2023 are an incredible result. Despite all the obstacles (Russia’s shelling of the Danube river infrastructure, falling water levels in the Danube, a ban on the export of a number of key Ukrainian exports to neighboring countries, etc.), as well as the lack of sea exports, Ukrainian farmers and traders continue to provide the world with the necessary food,” analysts said.
They specified that the Danube river ports remain the most efficient channel, thanks to which 4% of agricultural exports were delivered to foreign markets in August.
According to UCAB, in August 2023, the share of grain crops in the structure of agricultural exports increased by 2% and amounted to 2.3 mln tons (wheat – 52%, corn – 39%, barley – 9%).
Exports of oilseeds increased 2.3 times to 755.4 thousand tons (rapeseed – 94%, soybeans – 4%, and sunflower seeds – 1%).
The share of oilcake after extraction from vegetable oils in Ukraine’s agricultural exports in August 2023 increased by 15% to 367.3 thsd tonnes (sunflower – 98%, soybean – 2%).
The supply volumes of vegetable oils remained unchanged at 548.9 thsd tonnes (sunflower oil – 81%, rapeseed oil – 17%, soybean oil – 2%).
The analysts noted that the biggest changes in August 2023 were observed in the exports of oilseeds, the volume of which increased by 2.3 times. The main reason was the end of the rapeseed harvest in Ukraine and active exports.
“The next month is important for determining further trends in Ukrainian exports, as the ban on exports of four key items to neighboring countries is due to expire on September 15, 2023. The lifting of this restriction will significantly improve the situation with Ukrainian exports, which is what the entire Ukrainian agricultural sector hopes for,” UCAB summarized.
The Romanian company Vestmoldtransgaz (previously owned by the Moldovan government) has been granted a five-year lease to manage Moldova’s gas transportation system.
According to the press service of the Ministry of Energy of Moldova, the relevant lease agreement was signed with Moldovatransgaz, a subsidiary of Moldovagaz.
Under the terms of the contract, Vestmoldtransgaz will also receive the existing maintenance contracts.
The transfer process is conditioned by Moldova’s obligations under the EU’s Third Energy Package, which provides for the unbundling of supply, transportation and distribution in the gas market.
In June 2023, Moldovagaz announced that it was not in time to complete the certification process and the separation of Moldovatransgaz from the parent company. In July, the government approved a draft law that prescribes the procedure for revoking the license of the GTS operator and transferring its assets to another company. The bill was approved in the first reading by the Moldovan parliament.
“Moldovagaz was established in 1999. Gazprom owns 50% of the company’s shares, the Moldovan government 35.33%, and the Transnistrian Property Management Committee 13.44%.
“Vestmoldtransgaz operates the Iaşi-Ungheni-Chisinau gas pipeline between Romania and Moldova. The company was established in 2014 and sold to Eurotransgaz (a subsidiary of the Romanian state-owned Transgaz) in 2018. The shareholders are currently Transgaz (75%) and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) (25%).
