Following a decision by Karol Nawrocki to revoke Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s Order of the White Eagle, several Ukrainian officials have relinquished Polish state decorations. Kyrylo Budanov, head of Ukraine’s presidential office, and Vasyl Bodnar, Ukraine’s ambassador to Poland, have both renounced their Polish honors. Igor Zhovkva, a deputy head of Zelenskyy’s office and close advisor, has also joined the refusal. The move appears to be a direct response to the Polish decision, escalating tensions between the two nations. The revocations signal Kyiv’s disapproval of the Polish action and represent a further deterioration in bilateral relations. No official statements beyond the renunciations have been released by the Ukrainian officials involved. This follows a period of increasing friction over agricultural imports and historical issues.
