Deep in their heavily guarded bunker in Kyiv, boxing legends Vitali and Wladimir Klitschko allow themselves time out for some, strictly verbal, sparring.
The brothers have not seen each other for a few days, and Wladimir chuckles as he tells us: “To be honest, I’ve been glad of the break.”
It’s a lighthearted moment in a deeply serious interview, the first that mayor of Kyiv Vitali, 50, and Wladimir, 46, chief of Ukraine ’s Territorial Army, have given together.
