, the speaker of Canada’s Parliament, Anthony Rota, introduced 98-year-old Yaroslav Hunka during a special session at Parliament Hill on Friday attended by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Rota described Hunka as a “Ukrainian hero, Canadian hero” and someone who had “fought [for] Ukrainian independence against the Russians” in the Second World War. The chamber — including Zelensky and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau — then came to its feet and gave sustained applause and cheers. Speaker Rota later issued an apology, claiming he did not know the man he introduced as a hero was actually a former Nazi.
