also a former heavyweight champion,

came to town to help out his brother.

JOURNALIST: Do you have a message to Vladimir Putin?

[IN UKRAINIAN]

COMMENTATOR IN ENGLISH: But sometimes,

a fight is more than a fight to a fighter.

COMMENTATOR 2: Klitschko took that too without going down.

[IN UKRAINIAN]

WLADIMIR IN ENGLISH: We were born in a family of a teacher,

that's our mom,

and the military service man, and that's our father.

My brother was born in Kyrgyzstan,

after some while father was relocated

to another military base in Kazakhstan

where I was born.

I was born he was there,

I don't even know the time without him.

NADEZHDA IN UKRAINIAN:

SHE LAUGHS

WLADIMIR IN ENGLISH: And we kept on going,

changing countries, cultures, religions.

Our mom is from Siberia, so she is so-called "Russian".

But our dad was as Ukrainian as Ukraine could be.

He loved to communicate in Ukrainian

even though Russian was the dominant language.

And we grew up speaking Russian.

When I was eight we arrived in Kyiv.

I was raised in kindergarten,

knowing the enemy is the United States

so we need to fight them.

Then later on I had military classes.

I had to learn how to put AK47 together,

throw a grenade.

VITALI:

WLADIMIR: Our father was one of the true fighters

for that system,

he was a communist with pride.

REPORTER: Appreciate you joining us today, thank you.

New this morning, tension between the United States

and China escalating again. Here's what we know...

[IN UKRAINIAN]

-[IN ENGLISH] How are you doing? -DIRECTOR: Okay. How are you?

DIRECTOR: It's been a busy few days.

Busy last year.

DIRECTOR: Have you been sleeping at all?

Not so much.

[IN UKRAINIAN]

DIRECTOR IN ENGLISH: What was it like when the war started

for you and the family?

Terrible, I was crying, like probably one week.

Because I didn't know who to call,

I was calling to my ex-husband

and the hardest part

was that we were already in the process of divorce.

But outside everyone thought we are still husband and wife,

perfect family couple.

[IN GERMAN]

[IN UKRAINIAN]

DIRECTOR IN ENGLISH: Do you ever feel scared for your father?

I... Well, all the time.

When the war first started,

propagandas of Russia said they would take the president,

they would take the mayor.

They would line them up on the main street

and they would hang them.

So... it's definitely scary.

DIRECTOR: Do you feel he was ready to die?

Yeah, absolutely.

Which kind of scared me as well

because I knew he would be, you know...

So...

was in a very military-esque manner.

He gives you a command, you do it, you fulfil it,

if you fail, you do it again.

VITALI IN UKRAINIAN:

[IN ENGLISH]

But he always want to leave in this world,

like, his big signature, you know?

So it was always his dream

and he's done it already I don't know how many times

and that was always my question,

what else do you want to achieve?

Why?

REPORTER IN ENGLISH: Good evening,

another stunner tonight from the Soviet Union.

Mikhail Gorbachev recommended,

that the party's ruling central committee be disbanded,

which in effect would mean the end

of communist rule in the Soviet Union.

REPORTER 2: The Russian flag

has replaced the hammer and sickle over the Kremlin.

Nobody is sure what happens next

in the new commonwealth of independent states.

CROWD APPLAUSE

VITALI IN UKRAINIAN:

It was a period of great misery.

VITALI:

Wladimir's golden opportunity to reinstate the name Klitschko.

WLADIMIR: Before February 24th,

I thought I knew myself, but I was wrong.

What you have achieved in your life,

awards, medals, titles, so unimportant.

Now the only question is,

what can I do for Ukraine?

I'm different to my brother because I'm not a politician,

I'm not representing any governmental institution,

but I am Ukrainian.

I'm part of this country, I'm an activist

and I'm trying to deliver anything I can,

humanitarian help, military help.

REPORTER: This week Ukrainian officials pleaded

for more support from the West.

Ukraine is dependent on western ammunition

and it's running out.

We're just hanging out, me and Grimace,

chilling, doing a tour.

Good to see you.

I want to say thank you to the United States of America

for all the supply of the weapons.

We're family.

Signed pair of boxing gloves,

over there sir, do you want five for me,

we're going to five now.

$5,000 and now I need six. Sold at $7,000.

-Thank you so much. -Sold! At $16,000.

Criticizing your partner in the midst of a war is difficult

but I agree with you there are things

the Ukrainian government needs to do to accelerate

and finish some pretty critical reforms.

MAN: I think if we come to the end of the conflict

and these things are not in place,

it will be a disappointment.

We have every confidence in you.

You've made Kyiv work, you made the parliament work,

you make some of these reforms work.

[IN UKRAINIAN]

[IN ENGLISH] Nice to see you, welcome.

Very good to see you again, how are you?

Great, thank you.

I think you make fundamentally important points

and there's an opportunity perhaps to build back better.

Build back better

not simply the physical infrastructure that's destroyed,

but the social and governance infrastructure.

And we're determined to work with you on that.

REPORTER: Vitali Klitschko

delivered an unprecedented critique

of President Volodimir Zelenskyy.

REPORTER 2: Zelenskyy is becoming an autocrat,

he is reshaping Ukraine

into an authoritarian state no different from Russia.

REPORTER 3: The first signs of a growing rift

in Ukrainian leadership.

DIRECTOR IN UKRAINIAN:

DIRECTOR:

COMMENTATOR IN ENGLISH: This is when the real nerves hit.

The dawning that he's going in for the biggest job of his life.

He's fighting for the heavyweight title

against Lennox Lewis.

ANNOUNCER: One of the few fighters in boxing history

to have defeated every opponent he has ever faced.

Lennox Lewis!

VITALI IN UKRAINIAN:

COMMENTATOR IN ENGLISH: It's a good start, this, by Klitschko.

COMMENTATOR 2: He rips him again with the right hand.

Lewis momentarily wobbles.

COMMENTATOR: Klitschko looks the boss at the moment.

This is the kind of point

where one punch could turn the whole thing around.

COMMENTATOR 3: Big right hand by Lewis!

COMMENTATOR: Oh, it's terrible. It's terrible.

COMMENTATOR 2: A really, really bad cut.

COMMENTATOR: Oh, a horrible gash,

which might signal the end of the fight.

Is he going to be able to carry on with that?

NATALIA:

COMMENTATOR 3: Vitali is certainly ahead on points,

can he finish the fight with that eye?

COMMENTATOR 4: No way!

DIRECTOR: Have you ever felt like trying to stop his fights?

Oh, no, it's not possible.

His entire mantra of life is "failure is not an option."

COMMENTATOR: The clutch back, he's blinking away the blood,

Klitschko, it's a problem.

COMMENTATOR 3: He can no longer see,

he's fighting on pure heart.

COMMENTATOR: Klitschko looks strong

as he pulls Lewis back across the ring.

Oh, what an upper cut!

But Klitschko took that too without going down.

This big, strong Ukrainian.

COMMENTATOR 3: And he lands a huge right hand on Lewis.

COMMENTATOR: Klitschko is looking the likely winner.

COMMENTATOR 3: He can still do it,

one good right hand and Lennox Lewis is on the canvas.

BELL RINGS

COMMENTATOR: They've stopped the fight.

They've stopped the fight

and they're going to declare Lewis the winner.

Klitschko cannot go on because of the cuts.

The crowd are in uproar.

COMMENTATOR 2: Klitschko shouting "No, no."

He can't believe it.

COMMENTATOR 3: He was ahead

and he could have won that fight.

That should be a rematch. No doubt in my mind.

COMMENTATOR: The crowd here

believe that Klitschko has got a raw deal.

Klitschko is claiming a moral victory.

CROWD CHANT KLITSCHKO

WLADIMIR IN GERMAN:

WLADIMIR IN ENGLLISH: A month ago,

I went to our troops they were asking for a group of cars.

This car was purchased with private donations.

What's amazing about it is

we have production right here in Ukraine.

This car is actually Land Cruiser

that has been equipped with bullet proof armor.

REPORTER IN ENGLISH: Hundreds of thousands

of pro-democracy Ukrainians in the streets

protested against the result of the presidential election,

pitting their candidate

of west-leaning challenger Victor Yushchenko

against the pro-Moscow prime minister

Victor Yanukovych.

REPORTER 2: The country's election commission

ignored reports of fraud

declaring Kremlin-backed Yanukovych the winner.

VITALI IN UKRAINIAN:

IN ENGLISH: While Vitali Klitschko

is concentrating on Danny Williams,

his thoughts are also with his countrymen in Ukraine.

He and his brother Wladimir

are supporters of Victor Yushchenko,

the reform candidate, a lot of drama there.

He apparently survived a poisoning

which has disfigured him.

COMMENTATOR 2: Vitali Klitschko has it in his head

that a victory in this fight,

could enhance the chance

for the political reform he is hoping for in Ukraine.

Is all that a dangerous psychological burden

to bring in here?

COMMENTATOR 3: A fighter who can punch like Willaims

is the real danger to Vitali Klitschko,

but sometimes a fight is more than a fight to a fighter.

COMMENTATOR 4: And Klitschko lands a big right hand,

Williams hands jump.

COMMENTATOR 5: Another right hand,

Klitschko's ready to take him out here.

Here goes. It's a hammering.

Has everybody underestimated Vitali Klitschko?

He's just a nightmare for Danny Williams.

COMMENTATOR 6: Your children are watching you at home.

COMMENTATOR 7: Klitschko is boxing beautifully.

If you can call what he does beautiful.

COMMENTATOR 8: There we go.

Ukraine.

COMMENTATOR 3: ...the top two heavyweights in the world,

And then he started to change.

And you see that I am kind of a little bit sad about it.

Because I realized when he went to politician that

I started losing him,

my that time husband.

He is always at work. Always at work.

We barely ever got to see him.

Very often at all.

Whenever he did come home,

sometimes he would bring the office into the home.

It really shows that he loves his people.

He wants to make a true change in the country.

Even if it is at the expense of his own family, sometimes.
