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.

The move could strain Warsaw–Kyiv ties, though Prime Minister Donald Tusk’s countersignature is not guaranteed and both countries say they want to maintain cooperation against Russia.

Poland weighs stripping Zelenskyy of top honour after UPA-unit naming

Poland’s president Nawrocki said he may strip Zelenskyy of Poland’s highest state honour in response to Zelenskyy’s decision to name a Ukrainian elite unit 'Heroes of the UPA', triggering diplomatic protests and renewed tensions over Polish–Ukrainian history surrounding the UPA and the Volhynia massacre. Leaders in Poland urged restraint and highlighted shared interests against Russia, while Ukraine’s side and Ukrainian officials emphasized unity and the complexity of historical memory.
