It’s insane to me nobody questioned this given the historical context and that no alarm bells went off in the whole process, the whole House just unanimously clapped after learning this guy fought for Ukraine in WW2. Like the absolute best case is basically that the person only cared about Ukrainian Independence against the Soviets and begrudgingly accepted Hitler’s help, that’s not something that deserves honor or recognition for obvious reasons, and that’s the best case. These units committed atrocities and it shows how stupid our government is when they seem to be completely ignorant.
