He's proud he fought for his native land, Ukraine. You can read his story here (you can have it translated to English).

The Führer immediately revealed his plans for Ukraine, liquidating the provisional Ukrainian government in Lviv and imprisoning Ukrainian leaders in concentration camps.
A new wave of arrests followed. It was easier to oppose the new enemy because: a) he was easy to recognize, b) he spoke a foreign language to us, c) he did not permeate our society with sexots, as the Muscovite did.

For the next school year, I moved to live in the Ukrainian Bursa on Raiska Street, where Professor Mykhailo Rebrik was the manager. In my sixth grade, out of forty students, there were six Ukrainians, two Poles, and the rest were Jewish children of refugees from Poland. We wondered why they were running away from such a civilized Western nation as the Germans.

Doesn't sound like he liked Hitler at all and also became aware of the plight Jews faced?
It's simply just not a black and white situation, but he shouldn't have been brought in and he should have declined the invitation.
