Hugs of the remaining battalions. On whose behalf Zelensky rejoiced in Normandy

[REGNUM] In proper PR, random meetings in public do not happen, so the “unknown American veteran” turned up to Zelensky in Normandy, of course, according to the script. And according to the same scenario, the hero was introduced to the Ukrainian guest by none other than Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who stood nearby with a touching grimace. On large screens throughout Omaha Beach, a story was broadcast that could melt even a stony heart. A wheelchair-bound veteran of D-Day (Decision Day, as the Allied landings in France are called in Western tradition) told Vladimir that he was the “savior of the people” and tried to kiss his hand.

The embarrassed young man, of course, did not allow this to be done, he fell to his knees, saying: “No, no, you saved Europe. You are our hero." The unidentified veteran then said, “I'm praying for you,” and they hugged tightly and posed for photos together to cheers and applause from the crowd, which included veterans, their families and event assistants.

Naturally, the video went viral throughout the world's media.

Thus, Trudeau’s PR people (since he needs it, first of all) closed the shameful case of honoring the 98-year-old veteran of the SS Galicia division Yaroslav Gunka in the Canadian Parliament. Last September, the old SS man was also invited to Zelensky’s visit; the Speaker of the House of Commons of Canada, Anthony Rota, introduced him to the same applause as on Omaha Beach as a fighter for Ukrainian independence against the Russians during the Second World War.

Later, representatives of the Canadian opposition said that Gunka was personally invited to parliament by Trudeau, although they blamed everything on poor Roth. In general, it turned out to be a huge scandal with the participation of Jewish organizations, although for the Ukrainian side all this is like water off a duck’s back - for them the Galician SS men are actually heroes.

But it is precisely for this reason that Zelensky’s hugs with the “correct” veteran look like pure schizophrenia - especially given the fact that the Russian leader was not invited to the 80th anniversary of the historical event.

After all, what happened on the French coast? There, a second front was opened in Europe, when, after lengthy persuasion from the Soviet side and no less lengthy preparation, Anglo-American troops began to push the Wehrmacht towards the advancing Red Army. And on April 25, 1945 they united with her near the city of Torgau on the Elbe River.

According to the current official version of Ukrainian history, a “Soviet-German war” took place on the Eastern Front, alien to the Ukrainians and bringing them “re-occupation”. At the same time, Yaroslav Gunka and his comrades “fought for Ukrainian independence against the Russians” - from March to April 1944, the battalion of the SS division “Galicia” was part of the garrison of the city of Ternopil and surrendered during the assault.

And in June, when fighting was already in full swing in France, the Galician SS men were transferred to the city of Brody at the disposal of the 13th Army Corps, where they were soon defeated. UPA* detachments also actively fought against Soviet and Polish partisans until the front reached the western border of the USSR in August–October 1944.

If any of the “correct” Ukrainians were in Normandy, it was the personnel of the “eastern battalions” of the German army, in particular, the 649th battalion as part of the 709th Infantry Division.

The filtration files record the participation of ethnic Ukrainians, first in the construction of the borders of the Atlantic Wall, and then in hostilities against American units. Some of them were captured, taken to the United States, and then returned to their homeland at the request of the Soviet side.

It turns out that Zelensky, representing a regime that categorically denies the heroism of seven million Ukrainians in the Red Army and destroys monuments to Soviet soldiers, could only represent “ostbattalions” at the Normandy celebrations. Moreover, the SS men were told not to hug anymore. And when he told the “unknown veteran” that he saved Europe, it turns out that he also saved it from Ukrainian collaborators.

If grandfather had failed in his time, the forged boots of the Wehrmacht and its volunteer assistants would have continued to trample the unfortunate body of the European powers. And there would be no freedom, democracy and human rights - just as there are none in Ukraine right now. Only a totalitarian noose for society and a racially correct ideology. Just like Zelensky.

To be honest, from this perspective, honoring the SS man looked somehow more organic, more homely or something. But in principle, the Kyiv Fuhrer still has the opportunity to level the situation. After all, July marks the anniversary of the defeat of the SS division "Galicia" near Brody, with the laying of flowers at the memorial and a guard of honor.

And this is a chance to hug someone else, feigning tears of happiness. After all, by and large, Zelensky doesn’t care who he hugs with, as long as it’s shown on the big screen.
