Ukraine’s Wladimir Klitschko praises Germany for support

Wladimir Klitschko, a Ukrainian former boxing champion whose brother is the mayor of Kyiv, heaped praise on Germany for its help after meeting officials in Berlin in an effort to drum up more support for his country. Klitschko and his brother Vitali, also a former boxing star, have strong ties to Germany, having spent most of their professional careers there. In a video shot outside the Bundestag and posted on his Twitter feed, Wladimir Klitschko said he had been able to see for himself during his two-day visit that the two nations were "truly brothers and sisters figuratively now" and he would never forget Germany's support.
