Some members of the local Ukrainian community say there’s “broken trust” after a former Ukrainian soldier who fought in a Nazi division was honoured in Parliament during President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s visit to Ottawa — and want an apology of their own.
“This is just so, so disappointing,” said Jane Kolbe, an active member of the community in Ottawa.
Now-former House of Commons Speaker Anthony Rota invited veteran Yaroslav Hunka, one of his constituents from North Bay, Ont., to sit in the gallery during Zelenskyy’s address on Sept. 22.
