Wladimir Klitschko, the Ukrainian former heavyweight boxing champion, has issued a rallying cry to the world to ‘stop this war’ amid Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Klitschko, who enlisted in Ukraine’s reserve army earlier this month, posted the message on Twitter and Instagram urging immediate action against ‘Russian aggression’, or be at risk of further escalation. ‘In an hour, or by tomorrow, it’s going to be too late. Please get into action now, don’t wait. Act now.’ Wladimir and his brother Vitali, who is now mayor of Kyiv, have been outspoken during the invasion, with the latter saying he would be willing to fight alongside his brother in the ‘bloody war’.
