"Apologies for ignorance are ridiculous...:" Russian envoy Denis Alipov on Nazi veteran honoured in Canada Parliament
Nazi soldier in Canada's parliament as "disgusting", the Ambassador of India to Russia, Denis Alipov has said that apologies for ignorance are absolutely ridiculous.
The envoy, infact called Canada a «safe haven» for the Ukrainian Nazis in his post on social media platform X.
Alipov said, «Canada has been and remains a safe heaven for Ukrainian Nazis and not only them. Apologies for ignorance are ridiculous while standing ovation tells it all.»
«Thank God Zelensky's grandfather does not see what his grandchild has become.
Disgusting!» he wrote.
On Friday, after Yaroslav Hunka, a 98-year-old Ukrainian immigrant, was honoured as a war hero in Canada's House of Commons during President Volodymyr Zelensky's visit, a significant dispute broke out.
Meanwhile, Anthony Rota, Speaker of Canada's House of Commons, has extended apologies to Jewish communities in Canada and around the world. He hailed the veteran in the gallery on September 22 during Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's address at the Canadian Parliament.
In a statement, Rota said, «On Friday, September 22, in my remarks following the address of the President of Ukraine, I recognized an individual in the gallery.
I have subsequently become aware of more information which causes me to regret my decision to do so. I wish to make clear that no one, including fellow parliamentarians and the Ukraine delegation, was aware of my intention or of my remarks before I delivered them.»
Canada's Leader of Opposition Pierre Poilievre criticised Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for meeting and honouring a veteran of the 14th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS (a Nazi division).
