Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and House of Commons Speaker Anthony Rota welcomed a former officer of the [[14th Waffen SS Galicia Division]] named Yaroslav Hunka to attend an address by Ukrainian dictator [[Volodymyr Zelensky]]. Speaker Rota praised Hunka as a “Canadian hero” for fighting against the [[Soviet Union]], which was an ally of Canada, the United States, and the British Commonwealth during [[World War II]]. The [[Allies of World War II]], of which Canada was a member, were fighting [[Nazi Germany]], of which the Hunka and the [[14th SS Galicia Division]] were part. Many former members of the 14th Galicia Division are still wanted today for murder and war crimes during the Nazi occupation. Many of these Nazi war criminals fled after World War II and resettled and granted citizenship in the [[UK]], Canada, and the United States. After the German surrender to the Soviet Union in [[Berlin]] on [[Victory Day]], May 9, 1945, many of Ukrainian Nazis who did not flee [[Europe]] fought on against the Soviet Union until 1954, receiving covert aid from the [[CIA]] soon after the CIA's founding in 1947.

The [[Allies of World War II]], including Canada, were fighting the armed forces of [[Nazi Germany]], of which the Hunka and the [[14th SS Galicia Division]] were part. More than 45,000 Canadians were killed fighting Nazi forces.

There is no [[statute of limitations]] for murder. Many Ukrainian Nazi war criminals fled after World War II and were resettled and granted citizenship in the [[UK]], Canada, and the United States.
