Tensions flared in the House of Commons on Monday over opposition calls for House of Commons Speaker Anthony Rota to resign after apologizing to the House of Commons for inviting, recognizing and leading the chamber in a standing ovation for a man who fought for a Nazi unit during the Second World War.
This is embarrassing. Russia is already taking advantage of it.

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…
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yaroslav_Hunka this the guy, just for reference
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.
