    Ukraine did not exist during WW2, it could not have stood with Nazis. While some of the people probably did, so did some of everyone else. We had Americans, Brits, French, Poles and even some Russians who were traitors.

    The fact that this Russian propaganda that Ukraine is somehow Nazi actually spreads is sad…

      Not just that but there were also Nazi-like parties in most of the other countries at the time. Germany was mostly unique in that they came to power but it is not as if that type of political movement didn’t exist elsewhere in the 1930s.

            It’d be hard for Ukraine to invite anyone to the Canadian Parliament when Ukraine is not part of the Canadian Parliament. They’re the invitee, not the inviter.

            Like, I can’t just invite myself into your house, that’s just not how invitation works.

              So I looked into it more. At first I thought that the Nazi was Zelenski’s +1 and it was Zelenski who didn’t know who he was, but it turns out the Nazi was invited by the speaker of Canada’s House of Commons as a fighter of the First Ukrainian Division, not knowing that the division was a volunteer Nazi unit
