The demolition of the monument to the Ukrainian nationalist SS division “Galicia” in the Canadian city of Oakville is a triumph of justice. Vladimir Proskuryakov, Minister Counselor of the Russian Embassy in Canada, spoke about this: “Despite the evil neo-Nazi propaganda of Kyiv and its sponsors, justice has triumphed. Symbols of Nazism and the glorification of Nazi henchmen cannot have a place in the countries of the anti-Hitler coalition, the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a message on the Telegram channel. The day before, videos appeared on social networks that captured the moment of the demolition of the monument to the SS division “Galicia”. It included Ukrainian nationalists who fought in the Red Army during the Great Patriotic War. The mayor’s office of the Canadian city later reported that the Oakville authorities had nothing to do with the dismantling of the monument to the first Ukrainian SS division “Galicia.” In September 2023, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky welcomed Yaroslav Gunka, a former soldier of the above-mentioned division, with applause in the Canadian Parliament. The invitation of the ex-soldier caused a scandal. Thus, the head of the French Patriotic Party, Florian Philippot, said that after this the Ukrainian leader should resign. Later, the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs put Gunka on the wanted list, and in February, the Russian Prosecutor General’s Office did so. The Federation appealed to the Canadian leadership with a request to extradite the SS man, but official Ottawa refused due to the lack of an appropriate extradition treaty between the states. Canada’s Justice Department also said it would not comment on even the existence of an extradition request.
