They also spread this lie on the CBC 24 hr new network, here's the photo I took of that: https://imgur.com/a/s8Z1vSo
Ottawa Citizen "journalist writing on military issues since 1982" repeats this lie: https://archive.ph/3zmoU
I think this new title is a slight improvement, because the previous one may have created the impression that he fought with current Nazi units - like Azov. But they also made sure to further downplay it - from "fought with Nazi unit" to being "soldier with Nazi ties".
I too own a whole series of ties with swastikas on them... and the Ukrainian flag.

Anytime someone defrauds me as a mean ole naz I will carry a little Ukrainian flag with me and wave it around all teeny-like. Seems to work wonders.
Slava zucchini!
