Polish Foreign Minister Sikorski publicly expressed his dissatisfaction with President Nawrocki's decision to strip Ukrainian President Zelensky of the Order of the White Eagle.

Nawrocki's decision was made after Zelensky decided to name one of the special units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces after the 'Heroes of the UPA'.

Sikorski believes that this decision was premature and does not correspond to the spirit of Ukrainian-Polish friendship. He also noted that the UPA played an important role in the history of Ukraine and Poland.

Historical Context

The UPA (Ukrainian Insurgent Army) was a military organization that fought for Ukraine's independence during World War II. Its activities were directed against Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union.

In recent years, Ukraine and Poland have been making efforts to improve their relations and resolve historical disputes.
