Wladimir Klitschko on the Ukraine war: “You get used to death”

2023-07-14 17:04:59

“Every day, every night, Ukrainians die, not only soldiers, but also civilians, women, children. You get used to the pictures (…) You get used to seeing death and live on,” said the 47- year-old on Friday at a readers’ forum of the Chemnitz “Freie Presse”. You also get used to explosions.

February 24, 2022 completely changed the lives of people in Ukraine, said Klitschko. Right now, in the summer, plans are being made for the holidays, for life. Ukrainians couldn’t do it that way: “They think from day to day.” On February 24, 2022, Russian troops invaded the neighboring country. Since then, Ukraine has been defending itself against the Russian war of aggression.

The German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock defended the military aid for the country attacked by Russia at the forum in front of almost 300 readers. Nobody in the world looks at this war without emotion, said the Green politician. Many had doubts as to whether military aid was the right thing to do. Without tanks and anti-aircraft defenses, there would have been even more casualties. More military support is needed. They can only be hired when the Russian President stops bombing Ukraine and abducting and raping people. This happens every day in the areas that have not yet been liberated. There is murder, torture and rape every day.
