“Thank you, dear German brotherly country”.Former boxing world champion Wladimir Klitschko, the brother of the mayor of Kiev, has traveled to Berlin. In front of the Reichstag building, he recorded a Twitter video thanking the Germans.
In an emotional video message, former world boxing champion Wladimir Klitschko thanked the Germans and their government for their help in the defensive struggle against the Russian invasion of his Ukrainian homeland. “The support that Germany is providing to Ukraine is remarkable – be it material aid, the provision of essential goods or weapons,” Klitschko said in the cellphone video posted Saturday on Twitter, which he recorded at the end of his two-day stay in front of the Reichstag building in Berlin.
Here, in the original, is the Twitter video embedded.
The words of the German anthem “Unity and Justice and Freedom” are not empty words, he said. “Germany and Ukraine are united as never before because they jointly defend international law and the core value of freedom.” Both peoples are now truly “brother nations,” he added. In particular, Klitschko praised the German government’s commitment. He said that Germany is thus living up to its responsibilities and values. “History is witness and will never forget. Thank you, dear brotherly German country,” said Klitschko, whose brother Vitali is mayor of Kiev.
