Poland is holding the Order of the White Eagle, a high state honor, after it was returned by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy via courier. According to a spokesperson for Polish President Andrzej Duda, Karol Nawrocki, a meeting between the two presidents was scheduled but ultimately canceled by the Ukrainian side. Rafał Leśkiewicz, the spokesperson, refuted claims that President Nawrocki declined a conversation with Zelenskyy, stating that Ukraine initiated the cancellation. The circumstances surrounding Zelenskyy’s return of the honor and the canceled meeting remain unclear, though the Polish side expresses willingness to engage in dialogue. The Order will be kept in a secure depository within the presidential chancellery. This development signals a potential cooling in relations between Poland and Ukraine.
