Polish Deputy Speaker Michal Kaminski has returned two state awards conferred upon him by Ukraine, according to a letter reported by Polish news outlet 300Polityka on June 22nd. The decision stems from an ongoing dispute between Poland and Ukraine regarding agricultural imports and historical issues. Kaminski’s letter indicates his dissatisfaction with recent statements and actions from the Ukrainian side. He reportedly expressed that accepting the honors would be hypocritical given the current tensions. The awards were the Order of Merit and the Order of Princess Olga. This move escalates the diplomatic friction between the two nations, both key allies in opposing Russian aggression. Further details regarding the specific grievances prompting the return of the awards have not been widely publicized.
