Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has cancelled a planned visit to Gdańsk, Poland, reportedly due to a disagreement with Gdańsk Mayor Aleksander Nawrocki. According to former Polish Ambassador to Ukraine, Bartosz Cichocki, the decision preceded Nawrocki’s decision to revoke Zelenskyy’s honorary Order of the White Eagle. Zelenskyy was reportedly offended by Nawrocki’s actions, particularly concerning matters of identity, and wished to avoid potentially difficult questioning. Cichocki suggested that Zelenskyy preferred to postpone the visit rather than engage without a constructive response to offer. The cancellation signals a diplomatic friction between Ukraine and the city of Gdańsk, stemming from unresolved issues. The situation highlights sensitivities surrounding historical and identity-related disputes.
