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.
