Poland’s FM criticizes Zelensky honor revocation as ill-timed, urges dialogue

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.

Poland’s Medal Move Tests Kyiv-Warsaw Alliance

Poland’s center-right government accuses President Karol Nawrocki of a strategic blunder by revoking Zelenskyy’s Order of the White Eagle in protest over a Ukrainian unit named after a WWII force blamed for Polish deaths, risking a diplomatic rift as Warsaw seeks to lead on Ukraine’s reconstruction and Kyiv’s participation in the Gdańsk Ukraine Recovery Conference. Tusk warns that domestic political infighting could damage economic, geopolitical and reputational interests, while Zelenskyy has returned the medal and allied leaders have relinquished theirs. The row underscores tensions over history and strains the Poland–Ukraine alliance in the war against Russia.

Poland withdraws Zelenskyy's highest honor amid UPA naming row

Poland's president stripped Volodymyr Zelenskyy of the Order of the White Eagle after Ukraine named a military unit after the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA). Zelenskyy returned the medal, saying Ukraine will remain open to engagement with Poland while acknowledging painful chapters of history; Poland stressed the move is not against the Ukrainian people and does not signal a shift in security support. Reactions were mixed in both capitals, with Kyiv calling it a strategic mistake, and the episode underscores a long-standing dispute over OUN/UPA memory that could strain bilateral ties.

Poland revokes Zelensky’s top honour over UPA-named Ukrainian unit

The row underscores painful history as Ukraine seeks EU membership.

Poland weighs stripping Zelenskyy of top honor after UPA tribute

Poland's President Karol Nawrocki said he may strip Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Poland's highest state honor after Kyiv named a military unit after the controversial Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA); Nawrocki argues UPA’s glorification conflicts with Poland’s place in Europe, while Prime Minister Donald Tusk warns that quarrelling over the past could benefit Russia; Zelenskyy was awarded the Order of the White Eagle in 2023, and Nawrocki plans to raise the issue at a June 8 meeting of the order's chapter, with Polish law allowing revocation if the recipient becomes unworthy.

Poland weighs stripping Zelensky’s honor over UPA-linked unit name

Poland’s president Nawrocki said he will move to revoke Zelensky’s Order of the White Eagle after Zelensky named a Ukrainian military unit after the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA), the group tied to the Volhynia massacres of Poles. The decree naming an operations center for Ukraine’s special forces after the UPA drew sharp domestic criticism, with Prime Minister Tusk urging restraint to protect Polish-Ukrainian ties and avoid Russian advantage. A June 8 meeting will decide whether Zelensky’s award is rescinded, while tensions over WWII history continue to strain relations between Kyiv and Warsaw.
