Poland FM Calls Revocation of Zelensky's Award Disproportionate
Poland's Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski publicly criticized President Karol Nawrocki's decision to revoke the Order of the White Eagle from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, calling the move disproportionate and personally humiliating.
In a rare public rebuke of his own government, Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski condemned President Karol Nawrocki's decision to strip Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky of the Order of the White Eagle, Poland's highest civilian honor. Sikorski described the move as disproportionate and a personal humiliation.
The revocation, announced earlier this week, has stirred political tension within Poland and may affect bilateral relations with Ukraine. Sikorski's comments highlight growing discord within the Polish government over how to handle ties with its wartime neighbor.
No further details on the rationale behind Nawrocki's decision or Ukraine's official response have been provided at this time.
