Russia blasts Canada over ‘outrageous’ reception in Parliament for Ukrainian who served in Nazi unit
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov castigated Canada for ‘sloppiness of memory’
Peskov is (ugh) right. How oblivious do you have to be to not clue in when this guy is announced as having fought against the Russians in WW2? Unless he’s Finnish (which he is not), which side do you think that puts him on?
Ukrainians and other EE peoples fought against the Red Army who did not collaborate with the Nazi regime…

I am not arguing that this specific dude collaborated, my understanding a few thousand of them surrenders to allies and end up in Canada.
Just addressing above claim that anyone who fought Russians during WW2 is a Nazi collaborator.
