Vitali Klitschko: “My mother is Russian. That doesn't mean I shouldn't love her."

Ex-world heavyweight champion, and now the mayor of Kyiv Vitaliy Klichko stated that he shares the Russian people and the leadership of Russia, which ordered the attack on Ukraine.

“There is a nationality - Russian, and now there is zombification with propaganda. I understand that now the information space is emotionally overheated. I am half Russian. Nothing? My mother is Russian. She was born in Russia, all her life, even today she cannot speak Ukrainian. This does not mean that I should not love my mother.

Now a lot of guys are Russian by nationality, but they defend Ukraine, because they live in Ukraine, this is their homeland. Russian propaganda and what is now, unfortunately, being put into the head of the zombified population of Russia, is the result of a handful of sick people who created this war.

I am sure that our country has never threatened anyone. We have many nationalities, many religions, we are always good-natured, our people are peaceful, our country is peaceful, we have not threatened anyone even once. But today we can clearly say that Russian imperialism and the Russian empire that they are trying to build on the bones of Ukrainians do not coincide with our vision of the world," Klitschko said in an interview with the Bombardier YouTube channel.
