Poland revokes its highest civilian award from Ukrainian President Zelensky amid tense diplomatic relations.
Poland’s president withdrew the Order of the White Eagle — the country’s highest civilian award — from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, escalating a dispute over a Ukrainian military unit that Warsaw calls controversial. Ukraine promptly returned two Polish state orders in response. German outlets from Welt to Tagesschau and n-tv covered the move within hours.
The next concrete step is likely a formal statement from Kyiv or a reciprocal diplomatic measure. Whether the rift widens or cools may depend on how each side frames the military unit issue — the core of the tension — in the coming days.
