The besieged president of Ukraine has called on the world's Jews to speak up for Ukraine as his country is battered by intensifying Russian attacks.

In a statement addressed to the world's Jews this morning, Volodomyr Zelensky said:"I am now addressing all the Jews of the world. Don't you see what is happening? That is why it is very important that millions of Jews around the world not remain silent right now," he said.

"Nazism is born in silence. So shout about killings of civilians. Shout about the murders of Ukrainians."

Yesterday, Russian forces bombed a memorial to one of the largest massacres of the Holocaust in their intensifying assault on the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv.
