Ukraine is under threat of a possible invasion by Russian forces as both nations prepare for the worst. Ukraine has called out for help from European countries and the United States to aid them against their neighboring country. Former Heavyweight Champion of the world Wladimir Klitschko spoke to CNBC’s Hadley Gamble in Kyiv regarding the current situation.
Here's what he said:
"I believe that it's never enough but it's definitely huge help already. And I believe as long as President Biden talks to President, President in this case, and we are world community. We need to communicate with each other and if something is happening and possibly military invasion in a country, democratic country as Ukraine is, it's definitely an issue for everybody."

By signing up as a civilian reservist, Wladimir Klitschko has shown his countrymen that he is ready to suit up and defend his country if that's what it comes to. Being such an influential figure in Ukraine, this is a very powerful statement from the younger Klitschko.
Civilian reservists are part of a country's military reserve force. Such people are not enlisted in the military full time. During peacetime they live normal lives and have other careers. However, during times of war and crisis, the country can call on its reserve force for help and these civilians fight with the army.
