Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelensky has been stripped of Poland's highest state honour, the Order of the White Eagle, over Kyiv's decision to name a military unit after controversial World War Two fighters.
Polish President Karol Nawrocki branded Ukraine's decision late last month to name the unit after the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) "outrageous", "incomprehensible" and "deeply disappointing".
Many in Ukraine regard the UPA, which existed in the 1940s and 1950s, as heroes who fought for Ukrainian independence against the Soviet Red Army as well as Nazi Germany and Polish authorities. So for Ukrainians the title "Heroes of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army" is a major honour.
Poland, however, accuses the UPA of carrying out a genocide of ethnic Poles in Volhynia (now Volyn in Ukraine) in 1943-45.
"For the overwhelming majority of Polish society, the UPA remains, above all, a formation responsible for the brutal crimes committed against citizens of the Republic of Poland during World War II," Nawrocki said in a video released on the president's official website.

I lost a lot of respect for the klowns in the Polish government who were behind such an award.
I’m sure the Poles will happily welcome Zelensky and Ukraine in NATO when Putin makes his inevitable moves to assimilate Poland.
In the big scheme of things, an award between politicians means less than zero.
Never mind give him a Viking blood eagle instead.
When will this little DickTator allow an election?-|
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has stated he is ready to resign his position in exchange for guaranteed peace in Ukraine and the country being granted NATO membership. He has indicated he would be willing to step down immediately if it brings a definitive end to the war.
lol...”Z” is stuck on stupid”.
LOL, that "stupid" Z has successfully defended against Russia, who has four times the population of Ukraine and has the #2 military in the world, for 1,577 days which is longer than WW1 or WW2.
