Yaroslav Hunka was part of SS Galichina, a unit whose history has been whitewashed by veterans groups in the West

      Jesus Fuck. I was expecting this was fake, but it’s not. Here’s the AP article, it’s image number 4 in the scroller thingy. Here’s that dude’s Wikipedia page.

      It’s one thing when eastern Europe plays it fast and loose with that period of history, but I expect better from my own government.

      Edit: It looks like they’ve already apologised.

      Zelensky had an Azov Brigade member aka Nazi scum to talk through video call in the Greek parliament early in the war, so that people would show compassion to a warrior and provide aid
