Liberals are under attack from opposition parties and Jewish groups after Canadian MPs gave a standing ovation to a Ukrainian veteran who fought for a Nazi unit during the Second World War.

During Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's visit to Ottawa on Friday, MPs honoured 98-year-old Yaroslav Hunka in the House of Commons.

Hunka was invited by Speaker Anthony Rota, who introduced him as a war hero who fought for the First Ukrainian Division.

Mackenzie Gray reports on the shocking story, how this happened and what the reaction has been so far.
