Controversy Erupts as Canada Honors Nazi-Linked Veteran

Canadian lawmakers honored a 98-year-old veteran accused of belonging to a Nazi division during Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's visit to Canada. The veteran, Yaroslav Hunka, received a standing ovation in the House of Commons, leading to demands for an apology from Canadian Jewish organizations. Hunka fought with the First Ukrainian Division, also known as the 14th Waffen Grenadier Division, which served under the Nazis. The incident sparked outrage and criticism, with the Canadian parliamentarian responsible for the recognition apologizing for the blunder. The Russian embassy in Canada also condemned the honoring, calling it an insult to those who fought against Nazism in WWII.
