The Russian ambassador to Canada did not like the fact that it was Prime Minister Trudeau who shouted praise during the peak.

– Prime Minister of Canada Justin Trudeau tramples on the memory of the exploits of Canadianswho fought as part of the anti-Hitler coalition against Nazism, publicly shouting Bandera's slogans – said Oleg Stepanov in response, accusing that the slogan “Glory to Ukraine” is of a similar nature to the Nazi “Heil Hitler”.

Stepanov added that the Russian embassy repeatedly brought this to the attention of Canadian officialsbut “life in the 'Ottawa bubble' is such that the priority is unconditional support for the regime in Kiev.” This, in his opinion, is supposed to “foster leniency.”

– By shouting the slogan of Nazi collaborators from the stage, Mr. Trudeau is trampling on the memory of the history and exploits of Canadian sons and daughters who fought as part of the anti-Hitler coalition to destroy Nazism and Hitlerism – Oleg Stepanov accused Prime Minister Trudeau.

Zelensky said at a press conference at the end of the meeting that the message was accepted by the vast majority of participants supports efforts to quickly end Russia's war in Ukraine based on the United Nations Charter.
