Leonid Shapoval had been due to get a bone marrow transplant in Kyiv but had to flee with his family
A five-year-old Ukrainian boy with leukaemia who fled war-torn Kyiv on medical advice has arrived in Cork where he hopes to get life-saving treatment.
Leonid Shapoval and his family were urged by his doctors last week to leave Ukraine, just days before he was due to get a bone marrow transplant. His mother’s aunt, Victoria Walden, who lives in Cork, told RTÉ that the doctors were unequivocal.
