Separated from the father of her daughter Kaya since 2018, Hayden Panettiere wanted to bring reassuring news about her ex-husband and their child who normally live in Ukraine. Thus, according to the actress, her 7-year-old granddaughter would be “safe and not in Ukraine.“On the other hand, his ex Wladimir Klitschko has not fled the country since the Russian invasion and bombing and is in Kiev in the capital, risking his life.
Worried about the health of her ex-husband but also very admiring of his courage, she shared several of his publications in which he talks about the critical situation in Ukraine. In one of these he says:I am writing to you from Kiev, the capital of a country at war, a country attacked and invaded from all sides. It’s not ‘the Ukraine war’, it’s Putin’s war. (…) Today, the Russian president uses warlike rhetoric in the purest Bolshevik tradition and rewrites history to justify his redrawing of borders. He makes it clear that he wants to destroy the Ukrainian state and the sovereignty of its people. IWords are followed by missiles and tanks. Destruction and death are befalling us. It’s over, blood will mingle with tears.”
Determined, the boxer also says he is ready to fight to defend his country from the Russian invasion. Moreover, according to ESPN Wladimir Klitschko, as well as his brother Vitali, former mayor of Kiev, joined the Kiev army reserve last February.
