Russia seeks evidence in western countries that justifies its anti-Ukraine propaganda, and Canadian Parliament has provided it with much-needed ammunition for a tired and erroneous argument.
Anthony Rota, the speaker of Canada’s House of Commons, has resigned from his post after inviting “war hero” Yaroslav Hunka to Parliament to take in the recent appearance of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
Opposition leader Pierre Poilievre has also accused Trudeau of being responsible for Hunka’s invitation.The unit’s history The scandal illustrates a lack of knowledge among Canada’s political leaders about the eastern front during the Second World War. It also shows the close ties between the conflict and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
Whitewashing accusations The history of the SS Division and the arrival of some of its members in Canada was featured in the Deschenes Commission Report of 1985-86, which cleared most soldiers of war crimes. In Russia, there is an investigation into the “genocide of Russians” during the Second World War. Burial sites are uncovered, and the number of war dead has increased. Russian courts consider any alternative accounts to the official narrative to be historical revisionism and a criminal offence.
Ukraine was the largest ethnic group in Europe to be denied its own state after the Paris Peace treaties that ended the First World War. These agreements divided Ukrainian ethnic territories among Poland, Czechoslovakia, Romania and mostly the Soviet Union.
