First - historical background.
The Waffen-SS (German: [ˈvafn̩ʔɛsˌʔɛs]; Armed SS) was the combat branch of the Nazi Party's paramilitary Schutzstaffel (SS) organisation. Its formations included men from Nazi Germany, along with volunteers and conscripts from both occupied and unoccupied lands...
...in 1943...the 14th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS (1st Galician) formed from volunteers from Galicia in western Ukraine.
The above is Wikipedia: already well-scrubbed by pro-Ukraine, lib & CIA activists. Even they must give "Ukraine" several mentions in general article for Waffen-SS, with reference to massacre of Jews in Ukraine by Ukrainians.
Next - meet 98-year old veteran, Yaroslav Hunka.
Here is a pic, from Associated Press, of Zelensky and Canada PM Trudeau giving Hunka standing ovation:
So "First Ukrainian Division" musta been awesome helped Russia beat Germany, right? Nope. Wrong.
"First Ukrainian Division" was Waffen-SS, helped Germany fight local Jews & Russia. AP caption failed to note it.
Here's the real story:
https://thepostmillennial.com/trudeau-zelensky-honor-98-year-old-veteran-who-fought-along-side-nazis-in-ss-division
The Parliament of Canada provided a loud, all-party standing ovation Friday to Yaroslav Hunka, a 98-year-old who served with the Nazi Waffen-SS during the Second World War...
Hunka was a guest of Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelensky and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Zelensky was in Ottawa to address a joint session of Parliament and to pick up more military aid....
[Lib] House of Commons Speaker Anthony Rota gushed over Hunka’s presence [saying Hunka] was ["hero" and] a "veteran from the Second World War who fought for Ukrainian independence against the Russians"...Rota did not attempt to explain how...Canada...in the Second World War...was an ally of [the same Russians]...
Noted journalist David Pugliese has recently written of how Canada allowed thousands of former Waffen-SS members into Canada after the Second World War in much the same way as the United States smuggled Nazi rocket scientists into the country during the same period under the auspices of Operation Paperclip.
It is not the first time the Trudeau government has supported Nazism – as long it comes from Ukraine.
As media publisher Ezra Levant noted, "Last year, [Lib Deputy PM] Chrystia Freeland held up a scarf promoting a far-right Ukrainian Nationalist movement linked to Neo-Nazis commemorating Stefan Bandera, the Nazi criminal. Freeland deleted her social media posts, but not before the photo was saved."
Freeland’s office not only rushed to take down the photo from the minister’s website but maintained Freeland had been a victim of "Russian disinformation"...
...Freeland’s grandfather worked as a Nazi propagandist, a fact she denied for years.
As the truth emerged on social media and by protest from Jewish groups, Canada leaders realized they'd better make a show of repentance.

Rota apologized Sunday [9/24, Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur] after he said he "subsequently became aware of more information" about Hunka's past.
Libs are shameful idiots.
Justin Castro - oops Trudeau - tried to tear-up and look grave as he, as Freeland once did, shifted the blame quick to "Russian propaganda, Russian disinformation"........... like that had anything to do with it. (No.)

Amazing silence from ADL - Anti Defamation League.
Well in Dec 2022, ADL did decide suddenly that Ukraine Nazis don't count anymore & Azov Battalion weren't a Nazi skinhead group.
The phases of ADL & Liberal cope:
