Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has responded to President Karol Nawrocki’s decision to strip Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Poland’s Order of the White Eagle, the nation’s highest distinction. Tusk criticized the move, stating it benefits Russian President Vladimir Putin and unsettles Poland’s allies. The revocation follows a period of escalating tensions between Poland and Ukraine, primarily concerning agricultural imports and political disagreements. Tusk’s statement emphasizes the detrimental impact of the dispute on the broader geopolitical landscape, particularly regarding ongoing support for Ukraine against Russian aggression. He implied the decision undermines the united front presented by Poland and Ukraine. The Order of the White Eagle was bestowed upon Zelenskyy in 2022 for his leadership during the Russian invasion. No official reason was given for the revocation, but it is believed to be linked to recent diplomatic friction.
