Following the revocation of President Zelenskyy\u2019s Order of the White Eagle, Polish presidential official Marcin Przydacz stated that Kyiv repeatedly withdrew from scheduled diplomatic discussions and phone calls regarding historical disputes. <\/p>\n
Last Friday, President Nawrocki decided to revoke the Order of the White Eagle awarded to President Zelenskyy, an action previously signaled in May after Ukraine honored a military unit by naming it after “Heroes of the UPA.” On Saturday, President Zelenskyy confirmed that he had returned the decoration to the Polish president.<\/p>\n
Marcin Przydacz reported that recent weeks involved continuous Polish-Ukrainian diplomatic dialogue. However, he noted a lack of readiness from the Ukrainian side to address the naming of OUN-UPA units, alleging that Kyiv played for time and repeatedly changed its decisions.<\/p>\n
The presidential minister confirmed that a conversation between Zelenskyy and Nawrocki was supposed to result from his own talks with Kyrylo Budanov, the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, held in Warsaw on June 6. Ultimately, President Zelenskyy withdrew from the phone call.<\/p>\n
Przydacz stated that the Ukrainian side subsequently proposed an in-person meeting in Warsaw, setting a specific date and time, only to cancel that as well by suggesting a distant, future alternative. He concluded that the Ukrainian side showed no interest in a genuine discussion with the Polish president.<\/p>\n
Addressing Sunday\u2019s interview where Zelenskyy claimed the Polish president was engaging in internal political battles and inciting anti-Ukrainian sentiment, Przydacz dismissed these comments as a distraction from corruption within Ukraine. He emphasized that these tensions stem directly from Zelenskyy\u2019s own decisions to honor UPA members linked to the Volhynia massacres.<\/p>\n
Przydacz asserted that if Ukraine aspires to be part of a united Europe, it must confront its negative history rather than building monuments to those responsible for the murder of civilians. He stressed that Poland, as a significant economic and political power within the EU and NATO, does not depend on Ukraine, warning against the “tail wagging the dog.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
