If you read the resolution and the answers of national governments why they abstained, the answer is found in points 4 and 14 of the resolution, where everyone who fought against the anti-Hitler coalition is condemned and equivocated with nazi-sympathisers. This does include people who opportunistically fought againt the Red Army in the baltic states and Ukraine for national liberation from the USSR, but not necessarily on the german side.

Yes, some of those "national liberation fighters" were absolute shitbag nazi scum, but not all of them were and history is generally more complex than just good and bad.

There was a movement to restrict those two points to language that does not automatically include these anti-soviet forces among the ranks of the nazis, but the changes were not adopted.

Some politicians posit the hypothesis that the resolution was worded in such a way through russian string pulling, because they wanted to be able to paint every anti-russian fighter in the time of the second world war as pro-Hitler.

As a Canadian, Canada has way more Nazis than people realize and the broader government tends pretend we don't have a Nazi problem while certain politicians are full on embracing them (just look at Danielle Smith). It's not as bad as in the US, but that's a really low bar and isn't exactly praiseworthy.
