“I think the Russian government miscalculated when it decided to start this war. They thought they would capture us in 2-3 days. The so-called blitzkrieg did not pass,” said the former world heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko in an interview with Fox TV.
“They thought that we would welcome the Russian army, but this did not happen. In the occupied cities, people come out with Ukrainian flags in front of Russian tanks and show: “This is Ukraine, go home. There is nothing for you to do here. This is our country, just go home.” Peaceful people without weapons demonstrate that we are Ukrainians.”
“This is our land, our home. This is the place where our children go to kindergarten and schools. Here we build our future, live our lives. Our parents are buried here. This is our home, so nothing will make us run or run for our lives. No, we will defend ourselves. We will remain strong because our will is stronger than any weapon and any army,” Wladimir Klitschko said.
