Polish president threatens to strip Ukraine’s Zelenskyy of top state honour
Poland's president is considering revoking the Order of the White Eagle from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy due to his recent decree renaming a military unit after controversial nationalist fighters. This decision has sparked outrage in Poland, where the UPA is associated with historical atrocities against Poles during World War II. Despite Poland's support for Ukraine amid the ongoing conflict with Russia, tensions are rising over historical sensitivities.
