The mayor of the capital of Ukraine, Vitali Klitschko, plans to take up arms to defend against Russia.
"It's already a bloody war," said a Hall of Fame boxer on Good Morning Britain. I have no other choice. I have to do that. I would fight.
The head of the Kyiv City State Administration was also the mayor. The protests against closer ties with Russia were led by Klitschko. As the city of Kyiv is under siege along with other parts of the country, the leader of the defense is his brother Wladimir, who is also a Hall of Famer.
As the country braced for an attack, Wladimir enlisted in the reserve army.
