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 A June 8 meeting will decide whether Zelensky’s award is rescinded, while tensions over WWII history continue to strain relations between Kyiv and Warsaw.
