VITALI Klitschko has begged Boris Johnson and Joe Biden to send more help to Ukraine whilst vowing his country will “never give up”.
In a highly emotional interview today (Saturday) the boxing legend spoke alongside his brother Wladimir as the pair continued to fight on the frontline against Russian troops.
Speaking to GB News Vitali, 50, the mayor of Kyiv, said: “I want to say thank you very much to the US and to Great Britain for all their humanitarian help and all for their financial support.
“But it’s not enough. We need more weapons and we need more help. We have to stop the Russians. The Ukrainian Army is so strong and our soldiers are destroying Russian plans, but we need more help to win.”
Explaining why he believed Ukrainian forces were putting up such a strong fight, Vitali continued: “It’s like this, Russia’s Army and Russia’s soldiers are fighting for money. We are defending our children, our families, our homeland, our future. That’s why we are strong.
“The world needs to remember this is our homeland. We are defending our friends. Our relatives. Our families. That’s why we are here. We have to defend our hometown and we have to defend our future. This war doesn’t have rules. We see big drama every day. We see millions leave Ukraine. We were always a peaceful country. We never were aggressive to anyone. But right now we have to defend ourselves.”
“The Russians want to bring us back to the USSR. They want to occupy our homeland. We see our future as democratic and part of the European family.
We never go to the knee. We never give up. We defend our families”
His brother Wladimir said the world also needed to wake up to the threat that Putin could target more Ukrainian nuclear plants – sparking a worldwide catastrophe.
He told GB News’ Alastair Stewart: “”The target is the entire country, The Russians are constantly lying about their plans. They lie every day.
“What we need to do to stop this war and this senselss agression and genocide . Putin’s destroying life and stability in the world.
“The world needs to pay attention. We have four nuclear plants. One has already been on fire. More than 1,000 rockets have been fired on our people. There is no guarantee one of these rockets is not going to hit another of our power plants. The world is going to face Chernobyl and Fukushima multiple times over if that happens. It’s going to be a disaster for the world. This senseless war is nothing but madness. One man’s madness in Moscow must be stopped now, with sanctions, with isolation. Ports must not receive Russian ships. Banks must not do any business with Russia. There should be no trade for oil or gas. We have to just isolate Russia. There is no other way and we must do it now. Some companies are still trading with Russia despite us being at war for almost a month.”
Speaking of the bond the pair share, Wladimir, 46, added: ‘We feel the hand of each other on our shoulders. But I feel proud of our entire country. Not just our men who are fighting, but our sisters who stand side by side with the men in this country defending the country, homes, children, freedom. It gives us unity, strength and will. Our will is stronger than any Army and any weapon. But this war needs to be brought to an end.”
