Wladimir Klitschko has urged other countries to provide Ukraine with supplies and financial support following the Russian invasion, with the former world heavyweight boxing champion fearing the attack could extend to other nations.
Speaking to Sky Sports News’ Rob Dorsett, Klitschko – who has taken up arms – praised the Western world for “standing for and with” Ukraine but says further assistance is imperative.
“To come to our home and kill our men, women and children, this is not human, what any human can do,” said Klitschko, 45.
“We need supplies, we need food, we need medicine. We need any support, financial support, as we are alone in this case.
“But, in a way, we are all together. The democratic Western world stands for us and with us. This war, if it is not going to stop in Ukraine, it is going to spread out.
“If any of you are thinking, ‘it’s in Ukraine, I don’t really care,’ you should. Don’t underestimate it, we should take care of it promptly.
“To in any way stop this Russian aggression is crucial. We don’t have time to hesitate, it needs to be promptly done.
It is just unimaginable what is happening in this beautiful country to these beautiful people.”
