| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] Canada motivated its refusal to extradite 98-year-old Nazi Yaroslav Hunka (Gunka) to Russia by the absence of an extradition treaty with the Russian Federation, said Russian Ambassador to Ottawa Oleg Stepanov on February 13. “The formal (reason for refusal of extradition - Ed.) is the absence of an extradition treaty,” the diplomat said. He is quoted by TASS. As Regnum reported earlier, Stepanov also said that Russian diplomats will hold a meeting at the Canadian Foreign Ministry on February 13 in connection with the receipt of a note in which the Canadian side refused to extradite Hunka. The media, citing informed sources in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, reported Canada’s refusal to extradite Hunka to Russia on February 13. Hunka, a native of the village of Uman (then the Second Polish Republic), was part of a group of 12 thousand people that was formed by the Nazis in 1943 in the Lviv region for the mass murder of Soviet civilians. He participated in large-scale executions of civilians in the region, including the murder of at least 500 USSR citizens in one of the regional villages. On September 21, 2023, Yaroslav Hunka 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. Later, representatives of the Canadian opposition stated that Huncu was personally invited to parliament by Trudeau. In December 2023, the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation addressed the Canadian authorities with a request to extradite Hunka. The Investigative Committee of Russia charged him in absentia with genocide of civilians in the USSR during the Great Patriotic War. In February 2023, in an interview with American journalist Tucker Carlson, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that applause for the Nazi Huncke in the Canadian Parliament indicates that Hitler’s cause lives on, and denazification remains an urgent task. More from regnum.ru Russian Ambassador will hold a meeting at the Canadian Foreign Ministry after the refusal to extradite Nazi Gunka The Russian Embassy in Ottawa will hold a meeting on February 13 at the Canadian Foreign Ministry after refusing to extradite former SS man, Ukrainian Nazi and collaborator Yaroslav Gunka. This was stated by the Russian Ambassador to Canada Oleg Stepanov. “A conversation is planned at the Canadian Foreign Ministry today,” TASS reports Stepanov’s words. The diplomat added that the Canadian leadership explained its refusal to extradite the Nazi to the Russian side by the absence of an extradition treaty between the countries. As Regnum reported, on February 13, Canadian authorities refused to extradite Gunka to Russia. According to documents, Gunka, a native of the village of Uman in the then Second Polish Republic, was part of a group of 12 thousand people. It was formed in 1943 in the Lvov region by the Nazis for the “mass murder of Soviet civilians.” He participated in large-scale executions of civilians in the region, including the murder of at least 500 USSR citizens in one of the regional villages. On September 21, 2023, 98-year-old Yaroslav Gunka 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 Gunka 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 and the residents of Ukraine for honoring a Ukrainian in parliament. At the same time, Trudeau did not apologize to Zelensky on his own behalf and said that he did this on behalf of “parliamentarians and Canadians.” The Speaker of the Canadian Parliament, Rota, also apologized for the scandalous situation and decided to resign from his post after the incident. In December, the Russian Prosecutor General's Office addressed the Canadian authorities with a request to extradite Gunka. And the Investigative Committee of Russia charged him in absentia with genocide of civilians in the USSR during the Great Patriotic War. Russian President Vladimir Putin, in an interview with journalist Tucker Carlson, published on February 8, said that the applause of the Nazi Gunka in the Canadian Parliament in September 2023 suggests that Hitler’s cause lives on and denazification, the complete eradication of ideology, is necessary. Even more from regnum.ru Ambassador Stepanov: Canada's refusal to extradite Nazi Gunka is politically motivated The Russian diplomatic mission received a note from the Canadian Foreign Ministry refusing to extradite to Moscow 98-year-old Ukrainian nationalist Yaroslav Gunka (Hunka), against whom a criminal case has been opened in Russia. This was announced on February 13 by the Russian Ambassador to Ottawa Oleg Stepanov. Earlier, a source in the Russian Foreign Ministry reported that the Canadian authorities refused to extradite Gunka under the pretext of the absence of a bilateral extradition treaty. “We received the note,” Stepanov told RIA Novosti. According to him, the note contains an obvious politically motivated excuse. However, Russia will continue to seek justice, so the plot with Gunka is “far from over.” As Regnum reported, in September 2023, Gunka was invited to the Canadian parliament on the occasion of the visit of the leader of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, to the country. Gunka was introduced to the applauding audience as a veteran of the “struggle against the Russians,” after which it turned out that he was part of the SS Galicia division, which was staffed by Ukrainian nationalists. Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu demanded Gunka's extradition. He instructed to work out and send the corresponding request to Ottawa. The Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs has put the 98-year-old Ukrainian nationalist on the wanted list.
