☆ The scandal over a standing ovation for a Nazi veteran is now raising questions about a cemetery monument in Canada that honors his Waffen SS unit
▼ + stars: | 2023-09-29 | by ( Matthew Loh | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +4 min

The gaffe rekindled calls for a monument honoring his unit to be removed from a Canadian cemetery. Yaroslav Hunka served in the 14th Waffen SS Division, a voluntary unit of mostly Ukrainians. Now a monument honoring Hunka's unit in Oakville's St Volodymyr Ukrainian Cemetery is under fire again after his appearance made headlines. It was vandalized with graffiti in 2020, when someone spray-painted the words "Nazi war monument" on its face, reported The Ottawa Citizen. "The bottom line is that this unit, the 14th SS unit, were Nazis," B'nai Brith Canada leader Michael Mostyn told the outlet.

Ottawa CNN —Speaker of the Canadian House of Commons Anthony Rota resigned his post Tuesday, days after he praised a Ukrainian veteran who fought for a Nazi military unit during World War II. “I accept full responsibility for my actions.”Rota’s recognition of Hunka last week prompted a standing ovation. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has called the incident “deeply embarrassing.”The 14th Waffen Grenadier Division was part of the Nazi SS organization declared a criminal organization by the International Military Tribunal in Nuremberg in 1946, which determined the Nazi group had committed war crimes and crimes against humanity. Dave Chan/AFP via Getty ImagesRecognizing Hunka was “beyond outrageous,” B’nai Brith Canada CEO Michael Mostyn said, adding, “We cannot allow the whitewashing of history.”“Canadian soldiers fought and died to free the world from the evils of Nazi brutality,” he said. “No one – not even anyone among you, fellow parliamentarians, or from the Ukrainian delegation – was privy to my intention or my remarks prior to their delivery,” he said.

☆ Kremlin says Canadian recognition of veteran from Nazi unit is 'outrageous'

Yaroslav Hunka, 98, received two standing ovations from Canadian lawmakers during a visit by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the episode showed a careless disregard for historical truth, and that the memory of Nazi crimes must be preserved. "Many Western countries, including Canada, have raised a young generation that does not know who fought whom or what happened during the Second World War. Canadian parliament speaker Anthony Rota introduced Hunka as "a Ukrainian Canadian war veteran from the Second World War who fought for Ukrainian independence against the Russians" and "a Ukrainian hero and a Canadian hero." During World War Two, when Ukraine was a part of the Soviet Union, some Ukrainian nationalists joined Nazi units because they saw the Germans as liberators from Soviet oppression.

By Pete SchroederWASHINGTON (Reuters) - The speaker of Canada's House of Commons on Sunday apologized for praising an individual at a parliamentary meeting who served in a Nazi unit during World War II. Two days earlier, Speaker Anthony Rota had recognized 98-year old Yaroslav Hunka as a "Ukranian hero" before the Canadian Parliament. Rota in a statement took responsibility for what was characterized as an oversight, calling the initiative "entirely my own." The recognition came following a visit by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, who thanked Canada for its assistance in his country's war against Russia. Since their forces entered Ukraine, Russian officials have drawn parallels with the struggle against Nazism during World War II.

În luna septembrie 2019, grupul Ineos a anunţat că va forma o divizie auto care va asambla un model de teren denumit Grenadier la o uzină ce urmează să fie construită în Ţara Galilor, creând astfel 500 de locuri de muncă. Însă, în luna iulie a acestui an, Ineos a decis să îşi revizuiască investiţiile ca urmare a pandemiei care a creat o serie de noi oportunităţi, relatează Agerpres . Marţi, Ineos a confirmat că va prelua uzina de la Hambach (Franţa) aparţinând grupului Daimler, unde urmează să construiască viitorul model 4X4 Grenadier. Jim Ratcliffe, deţinătorul unei averi evaluate la 20 de miliarde de dolari, a fost unul dintre cei mai vehemenţi susţinători ai campaniei în favoarea ieşirii Marii Britanii din Uniunea Europeană. După referendumul din 2016, sectorul auto britanic a fost unul din cele mai afectate de incertitudinile cu privire la viitorul relaţiilor comerciale dintre Marea Britanie şi UE, principala sa piaţă de export.
