Poland’s FM criticizes Zelensky honor revocation as ill-timed, urges dialogue
TL;DR
Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski said President Nawrocki's revocation of Zelensky's Order of the White Eagle was an inappropriate, humiliating move that could undermine dialogue with Kyiv; he suggested alternative actions (e.g., renaming Jasionka Airport after UPA victims) and noted Zelensky should have considered Polish sensitivities about the UPA; the spat sparked tensions between Poland and Ukraine, with Prime Minister Tusk urging restraint to avoid escalation.
