The Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has recently compared the Russian invasion of Ukraine to Nazi Germany’s campaign of abuse as he continues to plead for stronger assistance from the West and the setup of a no-fly zone. While calling the Conference of Presidents of American Jewish Organizations, he stated “This is just a pure Nazi behavior. I can’t even qualify this in any different manner.” So far thousands of civilians in Ukraine have been murdered by Russian forces and many who have stayed behind now lack basic necessities and water in the cities targeted by Russia. According to Zelensky, “All of this happened during Nazi times. The survival of the Ukrainian nation — the question will be the same as antisemitism. … All of these millions of people are going to be exterminated.”
