Wladimir Klitschko, a former world heavyweight champion, has shared a powerful message via social media following Vladimir Putin's order to send Russian troops into Ukraine.
Sajid Javid confirmed Tuesday that the "invasion in Ukraine has started" as Boris Johnson, UK Prime Minister, pledged to impose a "barrage of sanctions" on Russia to respond to their actions.
In spite of the dire situation Ukraine is in, Kiltschko continues to be positive.
Many Ukrainians are now afraid because of this worrying development.
Klitschko is a well-known figure in the country and brother to Vitali Klitschko the Mayor of Kyiv. He remains steadfast in his belief that the country can overcome this.
He spoke on Twitter and said that Ukraine ![]()
was strong.
"It has a strong capital, strong cities, villages, and a solid, solid, and united people who are proud of their independence, sovereignty, and peace in Europe.
Its WILL to Exist is inexhaustible. Ukraine, Glory!
On Monday night, Vladimir Putin's tanks entered Ukraine and created the most "dangerous" situation since the Cuban Missile Crisis.
Two areas in Ukraine where Putin recognized the independence of Russian-speaking separatists were invaded by around 10,000 troops. This took the world back to the days when it was still struggling with nuclear war.
Since 2014, Wladimir’s brother Vitali held the positions of Mayor of Kyiv as well as head of the Kyiv State Administration.
Both of them dominated the heavyweight division over a number years.
Wladimir, the unified champion, remained unbeaten for more then a decade before Tyson Fury dethroned him in 2015.
Vitali held on to the WBC belt for over eight years, before retiring as the champion in 2012.
