Wladimir Klitschko has revealed how he’s witnessed “horrifying” war crimes.
In a highly emotional interview with GB News, Klitschko, 50, who is currently fighting on the frontline in Ukraine, said he’d seen unimaginable atrocities.
The ex Heayweight boxing champion revealed: “I have seen many tortured, executed bodies of civilians with their hands tied behind their back, on their knees and executed with the head shots. I’ve seen with my own eyes many, many, hundreds of dead civilians, it’s just horrifying. And that must be documented, and international justice for all this torturing, raping, and killing must come.”
Klitschko also warned how the people of Mariupol were now facing a terrifying race against time.
“The people of Mariupol, are still struggling and it’s literally hours for them to leave, we’re counting in hours because they’ve been without water, food, any medical supplies and obviously due to all the bombarding, many, the majority of them are injured and if there is going to be no corridor of life, we’re going to lose these civilians and mostly women and children
Detailing the impact the war with Russia has had he continued: “It is not easy to take. I never ever thought in my life I’m going to face war and it’s just something that doesn’t have any rules, it’s not human, it’s just devastating.
“I just want to address the world, the free world, we must stop this Russian invasion in Ukraine now. There is no other way but to stop it here, otherwise this war is going to continue, and we are in one ecosystem in Europe, we’re connected with each other and in the world. We cannot look away and think that Ukraine is somewhere far away and doesn’t really touch your home, trust me, if you’re passively observing you’re part of this invasion.
“There are many ways we can do this; isolation, economic isolation of Russia, because every trade, every penny that they’re getting from the trades they’re using for the weapons that today is killing us Ukrainians. Just go out there and be loud about it and demonstrate and show your solidarity if you really can’t do anything. I want to say thank you to Great Britain for supporting us from the early days of this senseless war. Thank you, but please keep going and it’s never enough as long as this war is still going. We don’t know how long it’s going to last but let’s make sure it’s going to be short.
“I just ask one more time and I will not stop, please support us, please let’s stay together against this Russian invasion and this senseless war tIf we don’t stop it the consequences are going to be literally severe for all of us.
