Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau is facing criticism for inviting a veteran of a Nazi unit to attend a rally for Ukrainian President Zelenskyy in Toronto. Trudeau's office stated that Yaroslav Hunka was invited on the recommendation of the Ukrainian Canadian Congress. Opposition leader Pierre Polievre called on Trudeau to resign, while Trudeau accused the Conservatives of 'abandoning Ukraine' in response. Trudeau denied inviting the Nazi soldier to the reception, claiming that the Ukrainian Canadian Congress was being 'attacked.' Russian President Putin also criticized Trudeau and Zelensky for honoring the former Nazi with a standing ovation in the Canadian Parliament.
