Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha will return a Polish state award in response to Poland’s decision to revoke the Order of the White Eagle from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The move follows a recent decision by Polish President Karol Nawrocki to strip Zelenskyy of the honour. Sybiha announced his intention to return the award as a gesture of protest against the Polish action. Details surrounding the reasons for the revocation of Zelenskyy’s honour have not been fully disclosed, but the decision has sparked diplomatic tension between the two nations. This reciprocal action underscores the sensitivity of the relationship and the symbolic importance of state honours. The situation highlights ongoing complexities in the alliance between Ukraine and Poland amidst the current geopolitical landscape.
