• Direct Last minute of the Ukraine-Russia war

Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelensky on Thursday evoked World War II and the horror of the Holocaust to demand stronger Israeli support for Ukraine and prevent Russia's "final solution" in a videoconference speech before the Israeli Parliament.

"Listen to what the Kremlin says, they are the same words, the same terminology that the Nazis used against you. It is a tragedy," Zelenski, of Jewish origin, appealed to 112 parliamentarians of the 120 that make up the Knesset.

The Ukrainian president called on Israeli lawmakers to demand more forceful actions from the government, such as providing military assistance to Ukraine - including the Iron Dome anti-missile system - and imposing sanctions against Russia, something that Israel has not yet done.

The Ukrainian president has said that the invasion "is not a military operation", referring to the term used in the Kremlin to define what is happening in Ukraine.

"It is a large-scale war aimed at the destruction of our people, the destruction of our children, families, state, cities, cultures and everything that makes them Ukrainian." "That is why I have the right to draw this parallel in history. Our wars for survival and World War II."
