Klitschko brothers have pledged to fight Russia on Ukraine’s behalf.
Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Vitali Klitschko, a former heavyweight boxing champion, declared that he and his brother, fellow Hall of Famer Wladimir Klitschko, would take up weapons to defend in what he described as a “bloody struggle.” Following President Vladimir Putin’s declaration of war, Russia began an invasion by land, air, and sea on Thursday (February 24). Over 100,000 people in major cities have died due to explosions and gunfire.
He told ITV’s Good Morning Britain that “I won’t be able to avoid it; I’ll have no choice but to do it.” “I’ll be struggling,” the 50-year-old, who was known as “Dr. Ironfist” in the ring, said.
Vitali Klitschko claimed that Kyiv was under assault and that cooperating with the police and military was a top priority to maintain key infrastructure, such as the transmission of power, gas, and water to the city’s residents. He went on to say that citizens were ready to protect Kyiv in the same way that the military was.
“I believe in Ukraine, my nation, and my people,” said Vitali Klitschko.
Wladimir Klitschko, the former heavyweight champion, enrolled in Ukraine’s reserve army earlier this month, claiming that his love for his homeland motivated him to defend it. “The people of Ukraine are strong people. In this horrible suffering, it will remain faithful to itself. A people yearning for independence and harmony. On Thursday, he posted on LinkedIn about a group of Americans that regard Russians as their brothers.
They are perfectly aware that they do not desire this fight. “The people of Ukraine have chosen democracy.” On the other hand, democracy is a fragile system. Democracy can’t defend itself; it requires the passion and dedication of all citizens. In essence, without democrats, there is no democracy. “
