Political scientist pointed out Canada's ill-considered step in honoring the SS man [Regnum] Now in the Western world there is such an ideology that if a person fights or fought against Russia, then it doesn’t matter to them who he is, a Nazi or not, so the Canadian government did not think about the consequences and invited an SS veteran to the meeting. Political scientist, member of the Council on Interethnic Relations under the President of Russia Bogdan Bezpalko shared this point of view in a conversation with IA Regnum. Earlier, at a meeting of the Canadian Parliament in honor of the visit of the head of the Kiev regime, among others, they invited 98-year-old Yaroslav Hunk, a veteran of the SS Galicia division, whom Speaker of the House of Commons Anthony Roth introduced to the applause of the audience as “a fighter for Ukrainian independence against the Russians during the Second World War.” war." After the incident, the Russian Ambassador to Canada Oleg Stepanov said that Moscow would send a note to Ottawa because of the invitation to a parliamentary meeting of the SS man. Stepanov called the incident an outrage. Poles and representatives of Jewish communities also demanded an apology. According to Bezpalko, Canada has long demonstrated an active anti-Russian orientation, but this situation undermines the authority of the country itself on the world stage. “This is a game for the public. And now this has culminated in such a demonstration act, when the Nazi was brought to parliament and saluted, apparently because he fought against Russia. That is, now in the Western world there is such an ideology that if a person fights or fought against Russia, then it doesn’t matter who he is, a Nazi or not,” Bezpalko noted. However, as the political scientist noted, the Canadian government did not think about the global consequences, since for most countries and peoples any mention of the Nazi ideology of the Second World War remains painful and impossible to justify. Therefore, after the incident, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau disclaimed responsibility for what happened and accused the Speaker of the House of Commons of inviting a Ukrainian SS man to the country’s parliament without warning. “I think that Trudeau knew about this and now, because of the scandal, he is simply trying to relieve himself of responsibility and shift it to someone else,” the political scientist admitted. In his opinion, Canada’s elites will now justify their actions to the world community, although they will probably not feel any true guilt. Moreover, as Bezpalko recalled, after World War II, a lot of Nazis moved for permanent residence to the UK, Canada and the USA. Moreover, these were Nazis who made their mark not only on the territory of the former Soviet Union, but also, for example, in the Balkans. In the West, the Nazis continued to live and could even participate in government programs related, for example, to the military industry. As Bezpalko noted, in honor of the arrival of the head of the Kyiv regime, the Canadian government staged a performance with a guest Nazi. “The official ideology in Ukraine now is Ukrainian nationalism. The people who promoted such ideas are now being heroized. Such organizations are also now considered fundamental in Ukrainian statehood. And in order to give weight to Zelensky, especially for the domestic audience, this veteran was brought there,” Bezpalko said. In his opinion, Warsaw, as part of the election campaign and diligently demonstrating the interests of the Polish population, will make loud statements, indignant at the fact that the Ukrainian president honored the SS man. However, Bezpalko believes that we should not expect complete discord in Polish-Ukrainian relations. “Yes, there are contradictions between the Polish and Ukrainian national movements. But they are united by hatred of Russia. But as long as there is a common enemy, hatred will unite them. But these are, in principle, second-order actors, and they are controlled by the United States ,” the political scientist concluded. As reported by IA Regnum , the Jewish organization “Friends of the Simon Wiesenthal Center” demanded an apology from the Canadian authorities for honoring a former member of the SS “Galicia” division in the Canadian parliament. Jewish social activists called on Ottawa to explain how Hunka “received recognition” from the Speaker of the House of Commons of Canada, Anthony Rota. Polish Ambassador to Canada Witold Dzielski also said that Warsaw expects an apology for honoring a Ukrainian Nazi in the Canadian parliament. He recalled that the SS “Galicia” was a Ukrainian military formation from World War II that was responsible for the murder of thousands of Poles and Jews. Later, on his page on the social network X (formerly Twitter), the Speaker of the Canadian House of Commons, Anthony Rota, apologized for inviting a veteran of the SS Galicia division to parliament during the visit of the Ukrainian leader. He admitted that it was entirely his initiative and he deeply regrets his decision. Press Secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov noted that many Western countries have raised a generation that does not know who fought with whom, and this is fraught with the return and spread of fascism. He pointed out that fascism is trying to rise to its feet in the center of Europe, something Russia is currently struggling with. More from regnum.ru Peskov comments on Carlson’s words about the disruption of his interview with Putin Russian President Vladimir Putin, when communicating with foreign media, is always frank and explains Moscow’s position, the Russian leader’s press secretary Dmitry Peskov said on September 25. Peskov: the moment for journalist Carlson’s interview with Putin will come Thus, he commented on the statement of the former host of the American Fox News channel Tucker Carlson that the US authorities thwarted his plans to interview Russian President Vladimir Putin. “We are convinced that sooner or later such a moment will come. The President, when communicating with foreign media, is frank and always explains the country’s position,” Peskov said, answering a corresponding question. As Regnum reported, Carlson previously noted that the US government has been making very aggressive attempts for decades to take control of everything that was available in the American media. At the same time, press workers, according to Carlson, are simply afraid to say anything that could accidentally offend people in power. Margarita Simonyan, editor-in-chief of the Rossiya Segodnya media group and RT television channel , said that ex-Fox News host Tucker Carlson requested an interview with Russian President Putin. Again, more from regnum.ru Kremlin was outraged by the honoring of the SS man in the Canadian Parliament Many Western countries have raised a generation that does not know who fought with whom, this is fraught with the fact that fascism will appear here and there, it is trying to find its feet in the center of Europe. The press secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov told reporters about this , commenting on the honoring in the Canadian parliament of the former member of the SS Galicia division Yaroslav Hunka. “Such a sloppy attitude towards memory, and memory must be preserved. This is outrageous; many Western countries, including Canada, have raised a generation that does not know who fought with whom. This is fraught with the fact that fascism will appear here and there, it is trying to get on its feet in the center of Europe, in Ukraine, which we are fighting against,” Peskov said. As reported by IA Regnum, earlier parliamentarians, together with Vladimir Zelensky, who arrived on a visit to Canada, supported the 98-year-old SS man with applause. He was introduced to legislators as a veteran of the “struggle for Ukrainian independence against the Russians” during World War II. The Jewish organization Friends of the Simon Wiesenthal Center demanded an apology from the Canadian authorities for honoring a former member of the SS Galicia division in the Canadian Parliament. Jewish activists called on Ottawa to explain how Hunka "received recognition" from the Speaker of the House of Commons of Canada, Anthony Rota. The parliamentarian has already apologized. The speaker admitted that he invited Hunka himself, but allegedly learned the details of his biography later. The scandal intensified even more when Canadian opposition leader Pierre Poilievre demanded an apology from the country's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau . Yaroslav Hunka was a member of the Galicia volunteer division, which mainly included Ukrainian nationalists. This unit is known for its atrocities against Jews, Poles, Belarusians and Slovaks. Yet more from regnum.ru Prime Minister of Canada responds to the scandal with the appearance of a Nazi in Parliament The incident with the honoring in parliament of the Ukrainian Nazi, veteran of the SS Galicia division Yaroslav Hunka, upset Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau . However, the scandal will not affect further assistance to Kyiv, the politician said during a conversation with reporters. “It’s extremely upsetting what happened. <…> This is an extremely shameful incident for the Canadian Parliament and society as a whole,” the Prime Minister said. Trudeau added that the Speaker of the House of Commons, Anthony Rota, has already admitted his mistake and regrets his decision to invite a veteran of the SS Galicia division to the Canadian parliament during the visit of the Ukrainian leader. At the same time, the Canadian authorities do not intend to refuse to support Ukraine. Ottawa will continue to provide assistance to Kyiv, the prime minister assured. As Regnum reported, earlier, at a meeting of the Canadian Parliament in honor of the visit of the head of the Kiev regime, among others, 98-year-old Yaroslav Hunka, a veteran of the SS Galicia division, was invited, whom Speaker of the House of Commons Anthony Roth introduced to the applause of the audience as “a fighter for Ukrainian independence against Russians during the Second World War." The First Ukrainian Division, also known as the 14th SS Volunteer Infantry Division “Galicia”, better known as the SS Division “Galicia”, was a tactical unit of Nazi Germany recruited from Ukrainian volunteers. Political scientist, member of the Council on Interethnic Relations under the President of Russia Bogdan Bezpalko said that Canada has long demonstrated an active anti-Russian orientation, but this situation undermines the authority of the country itself on the world stage. According to the expert, the Canadian government did not think about the global consequences, since for most countries and peoples any mention of the Nazi ideology of the Second World War remains painful and impossible to justify. On September 17, the Canadian government announced the allocation of 33 million Canadian dollars (about $24 million) to provide air defense systems to Kiev. It is noted that the funds will go to a partnership created in June 2023 by several countries under the leadership of Britain to provide air defense systems to Kyiv. |
