Morawiecki paid tribute to the former heavyweight boxing champion, who has been mayor of the Ukrainian capital since 2014.

"This is a great man, both literally and figuratively," he said of Klitschko.

Speaking in Davos earlier in the day, Morawiecki called on the international community to “do everything we can to stop the war” in Ukraine.

This year's World Economic Forum in Davos is dedicated to the most pressing global issues, including Russia's war against Ukraine, the COVID-19 pandemic, climate change and economic crises.

In an exclusive interview with Radio Poland, Klitschko last month thanked all democratic nations involved in aiding his country and called for more support for an embattled Ukraine at war with Russia.
