Kiev.- The acclaimed former world heavyweight champion of the boxing Wladimir Klitschko enlisted in the Ukrainian Army, as a reservist, before the recent military intervention of Russia, ordered by President Vladimir Putin.
This information was confirmed by the athlete himself in an open letter that he published on social networks this Thursday, February 24.
“I am writing to you from Kiev, the capital of a country at war, a country attacked and invaded from all sides,” Klitschko said.
“This is not Ukraine’s war, this is Putin’s war,” he added.
In the same letter, he invited the international community to rethink what is happening in Ukraine and how President Putin seeks to change the existing regime in the country.
“If Putin goes ahead with his regime change plan in Kiev, democracies around the world must start thinking about regime change in Moscow, before it is too late,” he reiterated.

“You can also act. May fear not overwhelm us; let’s not stay frozen. Putin shoots at Ukrainian cities, but he targets our hearts and, above all, our minds. He wants to create doubt and confusion and therefore inaction. You can do something by mobilizing and organizing big demonstrations. Make your voice heard. Make the voice of democracy heard. Say loud and clear that international law and democracy are under attack, that war is the greatest evil and that life is sacred. He also said that although solidarity is good, support is better. He said that the march of imperialism must be stopped now. After all, who will he get after Ukraine?
