Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk criticized President Andrzej Duda’s decision to revoke Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s Order of the White Eagle. Tusk stated the move appeared to benefit Russian President Vladimir Putin and surprised Poland’s allies. He emphasized the need for de-escalation between Warsaw and Kyiv, urging both presidents to moderate their rhetoric. The revocation stems from a recent dispute where Ukraine’s embassy criticized a Polish agricultural blockade. Tusk’s comments signal a concern that the public disagreement weakens the united front against Russian aggression. The situation highlights growing tensions between the two nations despite their shared support in opposing Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
