The message is clear: “we must be prepared for the worst-case scenario. If aggressors come to our country, we will have no other choice”. In a video posted this Thursday, a few hours after the incursion of Russian forces into Ukrainian territory, Vitali Klitschko the mayor of Kiev and his brother Wladimir, both former heavyweight boxing world champions and highly respected personalities in Ukraine, defend their flag , their nation, their country, their city: “I call on all international partners to observe this tragedy that is currently happening in Ukraine, explains Wladimir Klitschko in English in the post. This senseless war will have no winners, only losers. I just want to tell you that we must remain united against this aggression, against Russian aggression. Don’t let all this continue to happen in Ukraine, don’t let it happen in Europe and possibly the world. United, we are strong, support Ukraine” launches the former champion to the international community.
Wladimir, the youngest of the siblings continues: “It’s not ‘the war in Ukraine’, it’s Putin’s war. From now on, the Russian president uses warlike rhetoric in the purest Bolshevik tradition and rewrites history to justify his redrawing of borders. He makes it clear that he wants to destroy the Ukrainian state and the sovereignty of its people. The words are followed by missiles and tanks. Destruction and death are befalling us. That’s it, blood mingles with tears. We must face reality and have the courage to draw conclusions from it for our future and that of our children. This is a flagrant violation of international law. And, if you listen carefully, this war is also about Europe. »
The two brothers call on “democracies around the world” to come to the aid of Ukraine and put an end to “this madness by strengthening the means of deterrence”. Vitali Klitschko has been the mayor of Kiev since 2014. Last month, his brother joined the reserve army to be mobilized in the event of a conflict.
