The Klitschko brothers - "we will defend every street and every building"

Ukrainian former world champion boxers Vitali Klitschko, now the mayor of Kyiv, and his brother Wladimir, speak to 5 Live Breakfast about taking up arms to defend their country.

Wladimir and Vitali Klitschko speak to 大象传媒 Radio 5 Live Breakfast about the situation in Ukraine - and taking up arms to defend their country. Both are former heavyweight world champion boxers and, since 2014, Vitali has been the mayor of Kyiv. This interview hadn't been planned. It came about by chance because of one phone call made by producer, Jonathan Hart. For 5 Minutes On, he and 5 Live Breakfast presenter, Rick Edwards, explain how this came about - and we hear some of the interview itself.
