Yesterday, the President of Poland noted that the Order of the White Eagle is not an ordinary award. It is a symbol of the highest trust of the Republic of Poland. It signifies a special bond with the Polish state and the special gratitude of the Polish People. Such a symbol requires not only merit, but also respect for the values that form the foundation of our community. Therefore, if it is considered that this special symbol may remain with Catherine II, Benito Mussolini, and Gerhard Schröder, then we in Ukraine will not argue with that. Ukraine is grateful to the Polish People for their support and cooperation, which play a significant role in the struggle for our and your independence from Russia. Ukraine never forgets solidarity and understands that cooperation between states and peoples in our region is one of the tangible security guarantees for Ukrainians and for each neighboring state. Ukraine will continue to defend itself in this war unleashed by Russia, and we will undoubtedly achieve a dignified peace. Ukraine is grateful to all peoples, states, and leaders who will continue to stand with us in the defense of freedom and who, together with Ukraine, will serve as guarantors of postwar peace in Europe and a new, real security. Ukraine will remain open to all meaningful formats of engagement with Poland in order to try to avoid conflicting interpretations of the difficult and painful chapters of our shared past and to ensure proper respect for all innocent victims of the 20th century. And Ukrainians are doing everything in our power to ensure that Europe does not suffer defeat in this century. I am proud of our people and of EVERY Ukrainian warrior – of the millions of Ukrainian men and women who deserve unquestionable respect for the heroism the Ukrainian People have shown in defending themselves against Russian aggression. We believed that the Order of the White Eagle, awarded in 2023, was meant for the Ukrainian People and our army. That is what was said at the time. Today, I sent the Order back to the President of Poland. I believe the future will confirm the respect Ukrainians deserve. Glory to Ukraine!

Atak PiS na posłankę Piekarską doprowadził dziś do jej problemów zdrowotnych. Czarnek i ta cała banda z zaszczuwania niewinnych osób zrobili doktoraty. Obrzydliwe, prostackie, czyli pisowskie.

A disgraceful act by Poland’s president. President Karol Nawrocki has stripped Volodymyr Zelensky of the Order of the White Eagle — Poland’s highest state honor — after a Ukrainian Special Operations Forces unit was named after UPA heroes. Zelensky received the award from former President Andrzej Duda in April 2023 in recognition of his contribution to strengthening Polish-Ukrainian relations. Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha condemned the decision: “We regret that emotions have prevailed in Warsaw and led Polish politicians to take unjustified, impulsive, and disrespectful steps directed not only against President Zelensky, but above all against the Ukrainian state. The decision to strip the President of Ukraine of the Order of the White Eagle is a strategic mistake that will benefit only Moscow.” Sybiha also announced that he was renouncing his own Polish state decoration, the Commander’s Cross with Star of the Order of Merit of the Republic of Poland. Nawrocki has not merely insulted President Zelensky. He has insulted the Ukrainian people, who for five years have been fighting a brutal war against russia and, in doing so, have helped defend all of Europe — including Poland. History will judge who truly strengthened Polish-Ukrainian friendship, and who weakened it for short-term political gain.
