This time it’s Trudeau’s deputy. In fairness she probably had no idea what that said or meant; but if we were being fair, they’d have admitted that the only one guy with a Nazi flag at the trucker rally wore a mask at an anti-COVID-mandate outdoor rally, only showed up one time, was not representative of the movement, and was probably a paid government agent whose job was to be photographed with the flag so Trudeau could reference it every five minutes.

The Benderists fought the Soviet government for several years after the war ended, either being killed by the Red Army, or the survivors sent to the Gulag. There’s more to them than that article suggests.
I will assume that you are right; I don’t know anything about it either. The point is that it all gets reduced to “Nazis!” for political advantage.
The Banderists, the rightist spin-off of the extreme right (in European terms) Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists openly and enthusiastically supported Ukraine's Nazi occupiers. If they fought against the USSR after WWII, it was likely from a pro-Nazi perspective. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organization_of_Ukrainian_Nationalists
The enemy of my enemy very often is very far from my friend, just a maybe-useful sort-of ally. Someone to dilute our common enemy's fire, for instance.
Still, the main point is correct: too often things get down to ad hominem slurs: "Nazi!" or "racist" or ....
