Describing the current situation as a “nightmare,” Klitschko said the declaration of war against his country is Russian leader Vladimir Putin’s attempt to rebuild the old Soviet Union. “We have to defend our families, defend our country,” he explained.
Meanwhile, his brother, former heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko, enlisted in Ukraine’s reserve army earlier this month.
“The Ukrainian people are strong. And it will remain true to itself in this terrible ordeal. A people longing for sovereignty and peace. A people who consider the Russian people their brothers,” Wladimir Klitschko wrote in a post on LinkedIn, reported CNN.
“It knows that they basically do not want this war. The Ukrainian people have chosen democracy. But: Democracy is a fragile regime. Democracy cannot defend itself; it needs the will of the citizens, the commitment of everyone. Basically, there is no democracy without democrats.”
