Poland has decided to revoke the Order of the White Eagle, the nation’s highest honor, from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Deputy Minister of Digital Affairs Michał Gramatyka has publicly criticized the decision as irresponsible and driven by emotion. Gramatyka suggests the move, intended to pressure Ukraine on historical policy, is unlikely to succeed. He believes Poland was naive to assume threatening the removal of the honor would alter Ukraine’s historical stance. The revocation stems from a dispute over Ukraine’s policies regarding historical memory and treatment of Polish citizens. This action has generated controversy and raises questions about the future of Polish-Ukrainian relations, particularly regarding historical sensitivities. Gramatyka’s comments highlight internal dissent within the Polish government regarding the approach to Ukraine.
