Germany’s Ambassador to Poland, Miguel Berger, publicly disagreed with Polish Parliament Vice-Speaker Szymon Hołownia’s assertion that Berlin would welcome a decision to award Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy the Order of the White Eagle. Hołownia initially suggested the award decision would be particularly pleasing to Germany, a statement Berger directly refuted with a firm “No, Mr. Hołownia, we are not satisfied.” The dispute stems from a controversial decision by Karol Nawrocki regarding Zelenskyy’s potential honor. Hołownia later clarified his original statement, but the German Ambassador’s response indicates ongoing tension regarding the matter. The exchange highlights differing perspectives between Poland and Germany concerning recognition of Ukraine and its leadership. This public disagreement underscores a sensitive diplomatic moment between the two nations.
