Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called for a moment of silence at an address during the spring meetings of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) on Wednesday, to honour those whose lives have been lost in Ukraine.

"I ask you now to honour with a minute of silence in memory of the Ukrainian soldier whose death the world saw yesterday, and the memory of all our people whose lives were taken away by the Russian invasion," he told a ministerial meeting on Ukraine.

"We are proud to stand with Ukraine and as President Biden has said, the United States will do what it takes to support Ukraine for as long as it takes,” U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said.

Ukraine compared Russia on Wednesday to Islamic State, after a video emerged online showing apparent Russian soldiers filming themselves beheading a Ukrainian captive with a knife. Reuters could not immediately verify the authenticity or provenance of the video shared on social media, which showed a man in uniform beheading a man who wears the yellow arm band used by Ukrainian soldiers.
