"The world is watching how reckless and deadly imperialism is, not just for #Ukraine but the whole world. Let history be a lesson to not be repeated."

Take a look at the tweet:

Wladimir Klitschko and Vitali Klischko have joined the Civilian Reservist forces

Wladimir Klitschko and his brother Vitali Klitchko, who is also the Mayor of Kyiv, have recently joined the Civilian Reservist forces. As soon as Russia began gathering troops along the borders of Ukraine, the country began preparing for war and the two brothers decided to joined the Reservist forces.

The Civilian Reservist forces is a force of volunteers who will come to arms in the event of a war.

These civilians have full-time jobs and regular lives during peacetime. However, when the army calls upon the Reservist Forces, they come to arms to defend their nation with the military.

This is not new to Wladimir and Vitali Klitschko, who both spent time in the army prior to their historic boxing careers. They will now try to bring as many eyes as they can to the situation and gather the support of all the nations to rally against Russia's continued aggression.
