Description
Heavyweight boxing champion turned Kyiv mayor Vitali Klitschko says he is ready "to take up arms" defending Ukraine against a feared Russian invasion. The burly 50-year-old also uses an interview at his mayoral office -- decorated with one of his world title belts -- to accuse his former training ground Germany of failing to back Ukraine at its time of dire need. "I am ready to take up arms and fight," Klitschko tells AFP. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
