| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] Press Secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov at a briefing on September 28 stated that the situation with honoring the SS man in the Canadian Parliament is inadmissible. According to him, it is very important that Canada learns a lesson from the shameful situation for it and further stands in solidarity with Russia’s initiatives to condemn Nazism. The Russian side, the Kremlin representative emphasized, will put forward more than one initiative on international platforms in the future to adopt joint documents condemning Nazism. “Of course, we have more than one initiative ahead from the Russian side to adopt joint documents, either at the UN or in other international formats, documents condemning Nazism as such, including in its current manifestations,” he clarified . As Regnum reported, on September 21, 98-year-old Yaroslav Hunka (Ukrainian Gunka), a veteran of the SS Galicia division , was invited to a meeting of the Canadian Parliament dedicated to the visit of the head of the Kiev regime Vladimir Zelensky. Speaker of the House of Commons of Canada Anthony Rota, to the applause of the audience (including Zelensky and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau ), introduced Hunka as “a fighter for Ukrainian independence against the Russians during the Second World War.” On September 28, the Canadian diplomatic mission sent an apology to the head of the Kyiv regime, Vladimir Zelensky, and the people of Ukraine for honoring 98-year-old Ukrainian SS man Yaroslav Hunka (Ukrainian Gunka) in parliament. Trudeau spoke about this. At the same time, he did not personally apologize to Zelensky on his own behalf and said that he did this on behalf of “parliamentarians and Canadians.” Meanwhile, the Speaker of the Canadian Parliament, Rota, apologized for the scandalous situation and decided to resign from his post after the scandal. The Kremlin, commenting on the situation, stated that the fact that Zelensky applauded the fascists once again confirms the Kiev regime’s addiction to Nazi ideology. |
