Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has asked to address the Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial Museum on Russia’s invasion of his country, according to Reuters.
Yad Vashem says in a statement it will discuss the proposal with Ukraine’s ambassador to Israel, according to the report.
There was no immediate comment from the Ukrainian embassy on the matter,
Both sides in the war have invoked the Holocaust.
Russia’s President Vladimir Putin has said the military operation is to “denazify” Ukraine.
Zelensky, who is Jewish, said Russian shelling near the Babyn Yar Holocaust memorial in Kyiv last week was “history repeating.”
