Polish government spokesperson Adam Sz\u0142apka confirmed that the decision for Deputy Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko to lead the Ukrainian delegation at this Thursday\u2019s Recovery Conference in Gda\u0144sk rests solely with Kyiv. <\/p>\n
Government spokesperson Adam Sz\u0142apka stated that the choice to have Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko represent Ukraine at the Ukraine Recovery Conference in Gda\u0144sk is an internal decision made by the Ukrainian side. It was previously expected that President Volodymyr Zelensky would attend the event.<\/p>\n
During a press conference following Tuesday\u2019s Council of Ministers meeting, Sz\u0142apka emphasized that the conference is primarily an economic forum. He noted that the decision for the country to be represented at the governmental level is solely Ukraine’s, and therefore difficult for the Polish government to evaluate.<\/p>\n
When asked why President Karol Nawrocki was not invited to the conference, Sz\u0142apka explained that the event’s format is the deciding factor. He noted that the conference is a recurring initiative organized by executive authorities responsible for economic and foreign policy.<\/p>\n
Last Friday, President Nawrocki announced his decision to strip President Zelensky of the Order of the White Eagle, following Zelensky\u2019s approval of naming a military unit after UPA heroes. The following day, the Ukrainian president returned the order to Nawrocki, while former Ukrainian presidents Leonid Kuchma, Viktor Yushchenko, and Petro Poroszenko announced they were renouncing their own White Eagle orders.<\/p>\n
Zelensky had been awarded the Order of the White Eagle in April 2023 by then-President Andrzej Duda for his contributions to Polish-Ukrainian relations. Poland and Ukraine maintain differing historical interpretations regarding the OUN and UPA, particularly concerning the 1943 events in Volhynia.<\/p>\n
The Ukraine Recovery Conference (URC 2026) is scheduled for Thursday and Friday in Gda\u0144sk, co-organized by Poland and Ukraine. The event aims to strengthen international support for the country\u2019s reconstruction and stimulate investment in the Ukrainian economy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
