Wladimir Klitschko Urges Continued Western Support for Ukraine

Speaking at a German charity gala, the former boxer warned that Russia's aggression could extend beyond Ukraine without sustained international aid.

Wladimir Klitschko used his appearance at the ZDF charity gala 'Ein Herz für Kinder' to advocate for ongoing Western assistance to Ukraine in its fight against Russian aggression.
Klitschko emphasized that if Ukraine falls, other European nations could become targets in what he described as Putin's broader vision of war.
He acknowledged waning public support in Germany due to economic pressures but stressed the necessity of solidarity to prevent further escalation.
Several prominent German politicians, including CDU's Friedrich Merz and SPD's Lars Klingbeil, were present at the event, which raised €23.6 million in donations for children in need.
Klitschko highlighted the fatigue faced both on the frontlines in Ukraine and among international supporters, urging perseverance in the face of adversity.
