Former world heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko addressed the Russians in one of the social networks.
"This is a message to the Russians, listen to those who are able to think and think. With imperial ambitions, the invasion of Ukraine and the barbarism of your so-called army, you sowed hatred for centuries.
And the words that the government is allegedly one thing, and Russian citizens are another - this is complete nonsense and nonsense. It was you, believing vile propaganda and not accepting information even from your relatives and friends here in Ukraine, who were silent for the entire 8 years when your country occupied Crimea and part of Donbass.
It was you who treated the Ukrainians with arrogance and believed that there was no such nation. It was you who told each other myths about some Nazis and other nonsense. These are your soldiers, husbands, children have now come to Ukraine - and you all know about it.
You call them and ask how they are on the mission. Remember, we do not need to be liberated, we are on our own land, and we built our country, and we will build it. Ukraine is a free state that has chosen a democratic European path of development.
We will fight for our choice. Today, more than ever, we are united and resolute in this. It's not us who came to your land! It is you who are killing our children, bombing and leveling our cities and houses.
You know, they call you orcs here, everyone. There are no good or bad Russians now. While you are silent and believe in the propaganda of a crazy man, a dictator gone mad, the entire civilized world is on the side of the Ukrainians today and admires how we are building our land.
Yes, it will be difficult for us, but we will not give up, because we are not afraid and your army has already understood this. And putting an ultimatum to people who are dying for their land is futile.
Remember, no matter how you try to destroy Ukraine and Ukrainians now, if you continue like this, your country will not survive either. Whoever sows the wind will reap the whirlwind.
Do not want to be a country in complete isolation - do not tremble with fear and indifference, be brave like Ukrainians. Save your country, but we will not give up and will not surrender ours.
I am proud that I am a Ukrainian, a representative of a strong, freedom-loving and heroic nation. Glory to Ukraine," Klitschko said.
