Polish President Karol Nawrocki has revoked the Order of the White Eagle, Poland's highest state decoration, from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. The decision stems from Ukraine assigning the name 'Heroes of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA)' to one of its Armed Forces units. The UPA is a controversial nationalist formation that fought for Ukrainian independence during World War II and is associated with massacres of Poles in Volhynia. Nawrocki's move has drawn sharp criticism from Ukrainian officials, including Dmytro Yarosh, who accused Poland of historical revisionism.
