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 A June 8 meeting will decide whether Zelensky’s award is rescinded, while tensions over WWII history continue to strain relations between Kyiv and Warsaw.

"PM Modi and Finance Minister Criticize UPA's Governance and Emphasize National Security and Finance Management"

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman criticized the UPA government, calling it "rudderless and leaderless" and accusing Sonia Gandhi of acting as a "Super Prime Minister". She also targeted Rahul Gandhi for his 2013 ordinance incident, alleging arrogance and disrespect towards then-Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. Sitharaman claimed that the UPA's leadership issues led to mismanagement and highlighted Sonia Gandhi's extra-constitutional authority as chairperson of the National Advisory Council. The Congress dismissed the government's white paper as a "mountain of lies", with its leader in the Lok Sabha, Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, calling it an "electoral manifesto".
