The sports stars on the frontline in Ukraine

How the Klitschkos and Sergiy Stakhovsky are fighting for their country in Ukraine.

Whether it’s the inspiring leadership of former boxers Vitali and Wladimir Klitschko – or the courage of tennis player Sergiy Stakhovsky - Ukrainian sports stars are joining the fight against Russia.

Stakhovsky, who has left his family in Hungary to enlist on the front line, speaks to us as he patrols the streets of Kyiv.

We hear from British tennis star Andy Murray on why he’s donating all his prize money from 2022 to help children in Ukraine and a Brazilian footballer who made a daring escape from the war-torn country with the mother-in-law of a famous influencer.
