Former boxing champion Vladimir Klitschko stayed at home in Kiev to face Russian aggression alongside his older brother Vitali, the mayor. Although the capital of Ukraine is still bravely resisting, according to some, it is only a question of when it will fall. While the rest of the world watches it live.
The famous boxer tried to use his popularity to wake up to support. He published a video on social media today asking everyone to try to stop the war.
“I am Vladimir Klitschko and I am talking to the whole world to stop this war that Russia has started. Today, civilians have been hit by a rocket, special operations are killing civilians and this is happening in the heart of Europe. act now to stop the Russian aggression. With anything you can. Now! It will be too late in an hour or tomorrow. Please take action. Now! Don’t wait, act now! Stop this war. “

In a similar way, he tried to end the aggression as well Oleksandr Usyk. The reigning heavyweight champion returned to his homeland from England only after the outbreak of fighting, to be by the family in difficult times.
“Good morning, everyone, my name is Usyk Oleksandr. I would like to appeal to the Russian nation. If you consider us Orthodox brothers, do not let your army, your children, go to our country. Don’t fight with us! I would also like to address the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, who can stop the war. Don’t give us ultimatums, don’t dictate the terms, just sit down at the negotiating table. We need to talk and end everything. Our children, our mothers, our grandmothers and ordinary people are hiding in the cellars. We are in our country, we do what we have to do. We defend ourselves. Stop it, stop the war. “
