Canada Apologizes After Parliament Ovation for Ukrainian Veteran with Nazi Ties Lets Russia Claim Vindication on 'Denazification'

Canadian parliament gave standing ovation to Ukrainian veteran who fought with Nazis in WW2. This was highlighted by Putin to justify Russia's "denazification" claims.

Canadian Speaker Anthony Ruta resigned after hailing the veteran as a hero, not knowing his Nazi past.

Putin slammed the ovation as "disgusting", saying it confirmed Russia's goal to "denazify" Ukraine.

Canadian PM Trudeau apologized to Ukraine for the "position they were put in" by the ovation.

Canada's Deputy PM said Putin should not exploit their "terrible mistake" for propaganda. She urged pushing back against Russian disinformation.
