A report by the Institute for Media Monitoring, prepared for Wirtualna Polska, reveals that the controversy surrounding the revocation of Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s Order of the White Eagle has been the primary focus of Ukrainian media. The dispute stems from remarks concerning the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA), considered controversial in Poland. Polish President Karol Nawrocki’s perceived “radicalism” in the matter also received significant attention. Analysts tracked hundreds of publications to compile the report, highlighting the intensity of media coverage in Ukraine. The revocation of the honor and the subsequent reactions have fueled a significant diplomatic and media exchange between the two countries. The report indicates this issue has overshadowed other news, becoming a central narrative in Ukrainian media discourse. The findings demonstrate the sensitivity of historical memory and its impact on current political relations.
