<p>Amid the escalating Russia-Ukraine war, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said that Russia's camps resemble "Nazi concentration camps". While addressing the American Jewish Committee Global Forum on Monday (June 13), Zelensky said, "How could mass killings, torture, burned cities and filtration camps set up by the Russian military in the occupied territories, which resemble Nazi concentration camps, come to pass?"&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Ukrainian President also urged the West to increase arms supplies to Ukraine. "Help us speed up the supply of weapons to Ukraine so that we can liberate the occupied territories," he said. He added that the country needs powerful offensive weapons and without such arms, the war will last for a very long time and the number of casualties will grow.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In the latest development, the governor of the eastern Lugansk, Sergiy Gaiday, informed that Ukraine's forces have been driven from the centre of the key eastern city of Severodonetsk. For weeks, the Russian forces were targeting the industrial hub.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Zelensky said that his forces are fighting for "literally every meter" of one of the last cities in Lugansk that had yet to fall to Russian forces.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Gaiday said that the Russians have destroyed a second bridge into the city on the Donets river and that the Azot chemical plant, where hundreds of civilians are taking shelter, is being "heavily shelled".&nbsp;</p>
