Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau responded on Monday to criticisms that the House of Commons has received for honoring a Ukrainian veteran who reportedly fought in a Nazi battalion during WWII, CTV News reported Monday.
Yaroslav Hunka, a 98-year-old veteran who fought in the 14th Waffen Grenadier Division of the Nazi SS during the Third Reich, was honored as a “Ukrainian hero” and received a bipartisan standing ovation in Canada’s House Of Commons, with Trudeau and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy joining in the chorus of applause on Friday. Trudeau said it was a “deeply embarrassing” error, but asked Canadians to watch out for “Russian propaganda” during a press gaggle on Monday, as reported by CTV News reporter Judy Trinh.
