The Speaker of the House of Commons of Canada, Anthony Rota, who announced his resignation, was made a “scapegoat”, removing Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his associates from under attack. This opinion expressed official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova in her Telegram channel.
Zakharova mentioned that among the Canadian Prime Minister’s associates there are “descendants of collaborators from the OUN-UPA” (recognized as an extremist organization and banned in the Russian Federation).
“No one apologized for the Nazi slogans “Glory to Ukraine” with which Zelensky was greeted,” Zakharova wrote, recalling how German Chancellor Olaf Scholz publicly shouted these words in May 2023.
“I am sure that the same inglorious future awaits everyone around the world who supports the “forest brothers”, “Galicia”, torchlight processions, Bandera and other Nazi trash,” added the official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Rota invited 98-year-old Ukrainian veteran of the SS Galicia division Yaroslav Hunka (Hunko) to a meeting of the Canadian Parliament with the participation of Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky on September 22. Hunka was honored as a war hero. Rota later apologized “to every Holocaust survivor and World War II veteran.” Against honoring an SS veteran spoke office of the UN Secretary General. Minister of Education and Science of Poland Przemyslaw Czarnek offered consider the possibility of extraditing Hunka from Canada.
Russian Embassy in Ottawa stated, which will send a note to the Canadian Ministry of Foreign Affairs regarding the honoring of the veteran of the SS Galicia division. Press Secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov named “sloppy” is such an attitude towards the memory of the Second World War. Deputies of the State Duma of the Russian Federation accepted a document in which they expressed outrage at Hunka’s invitation to parliament.
On September 26 it became known that Rota will leave Speaker of the House of Commons of Canada.
