True -- not the same level as the Holocaust and the Nazis.

Zelensky’s misfired speech The vast majority of Israelis watching Zelensky’s address understood where he was coming from, just not where he was going. Perhaps desperation and frustration overtook him.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s speech to the Knesset on Sunday evening, delivered via Zoom was received with mixed responses from Israeli lawmakers, with some calling it “outrageous” and others supporting the “distressed” president.
Several MKs harshly criticized Zelensky for drawing comparisons between the Holocaust and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and seemingly ignoring some Ukrainians’ complicity in the Nazi-led genocide.
“I admire the Ukraine president and support the Ukrainian people in heart and deed, but the terrible history of the Holocaust cannot be rewritten,” Communications Minister Yoaz Hendel tweeted.
Hendel noted that part of Nazi Germany’s genocide of Jews “was also carried out on Ukrainian land.” He added that while “the war is terrible, the comparison to the horrors of the Holocaust and the Final Solution is outrageous.”
