“I am very proud to see how patriotic people are. We’re not interested in how strong the Russian army is, we’re ready to fight.

“And we’re ready to die for our home country and our families, because it’s our home, it’s our future and somebody wants to come to our home and steal our future from us.”

Klitschko when asked how long Kyiv can hold out, “I’m not ready to give you a clear answer. So long, so long time, if we’re still alive.”
