Miller said he was very busy at the UN General Assembly on Friday and missed the news from Canada. Zakharova recalled that everyone present had access to the Internet, including representatives of the US State Department.
“On Friday, Matthew, everyone was there. And everyone saw how Nazism triumphed in Canada,” emphasized the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry.
Let us remember that the Ukrainian president, Vladimir Zelensky, during his visit to the Canadian Parliament, greeted 98-year-old Yaroslav Hunka, a former soldier of the SS Galicia division. The country’s Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, avoided answering about inviting a Nazi to parliament.
Polish Deputy Foreign Minister Mularczyk believes that the speaker of the Canadian House of Commons should resign following the scandal over the tribute to a Ukrainian who fought in the SS division. Belarus also demanded an apology from Canada and the Russian ambassador in Ottawa said he would send a note to Canada’s Foreign Ministry. The incident was also condemned by the UN.
The First Ukrainian Division or 14th SS Volunteer Infantry Division “Galicia” was a tactical formation of Nazi Germany troops recruited from Ukrainian volunteers. He was under full Nazi command and an international court found him responsible for the genocide of Jews, Poles and civilians in the former Soviet republics.
