Kyrylo Budanov, the head of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's office, has announced his resignation from the Officer's Cross of the Order of Merit of the Republic of Poland. This decision follows a move by Karol Nawrocki to revoke the Order of the White Eagle previously awarded to President Zelenskyy. Budanov stated that his action is a direct response to this development. He characterized the Polish side's actions as an "unfriendly act" toward the Ukrainian people. The situation highlights growing diplomatic tensions between the two nations. Budanov had received the Polish honor just last year. This reciprocal gesture underscores the severity of the current political friction.
