Prime Minister Donald Tusk has publicly criticized President Karol Nawrocki\u2019s decision to revoke Volodymyr Zelenskyy\u2019s Order of the White Eagle, warning that escalating conflict between Poland and Ukraine only benefits Vladimir Putin. <\/p>\n
In a post on the X platform, Prime Minister Donald Tusk addressed the growing diplomatic friction between Warsaw and Kyiv. He asserted that any conflict between Poland and Ukraine serves the interests of Putin and shocks international allies, emphasizing that the primary task for both presidents should be to de-escalate tensions rather than stoke them.<\/p>\n
The Prime Minister\u2019s statement followed President Karol Nawrocki\u2019s announcement that he intends to strip President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Poland\u2019s highest state honor. This move was prompted by the Ukrainian leader\u2019s decision to name a military unit after heroes of the UPA.<\/p>\n
Nawrocki maintained that the decision does not target the Ukrainian nation nor signal a shift in Poland\u2019s security strategy. However, he argued that the glorification of the UPA undermines the memory of victims and damages the trust established between the two capitals.<\/p>\n
Tusk had previously characterized Zelenskyy\u2019s decision as a mistake that unnecessarily triggered emotional reactions. Following direct discussions with the Ukrainian president, Tusk noted that Zelenskyy did not intend to offend Poles or damage bilateral relations.<\/p>\n
The Prime Minister reiterated that supporting Ukraine in its war against Russia remains firmly in Poland’s national interest, arguing that both sides must avoid actions that could weaken cooperation during the current conflict.<\/p>\n
Formal revocation of the Order of the White Eagle requires the Prime Minister’s countersignature, meaning the President’s decision cannot take effect without Tusk\u2019s approval. The head of government did not clarify whether he intends to sign the presidential decree.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
