Czech Party Seeks to Strip Zelensky of Country's Highest Honor
Kyiv Post ^ | 30 June 26 | Kyiv Post

Posted on 07/06/2026 5:27:43 AM PDT by delta7

In brief: Czech opposition party SPD has called for Ukraine’s Zelensky to be stripped of the Order of the White Lion, the country's highest state decoration, following a similar decision from Poland after Kyiv named a military unit after a controversial WWII military formation that Warsaw viewed as responsible for massacres of Poles in Volhynia and Eastern Galicia.

A Czech opposition party has proposed stripping Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky of the Czech Republic’s highest state honor, arguing it “cannot stay silent” after Kyiv named a military unit after the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA).

According to Ceske Noviny on Tuesday, the opposition Freedom and Direct Democracy (SPD) party said it would seek support within the country’s governing coalition to revoke Zelensky’s Order of the White Lion, the Czech Republic’s highest state decoration.

“We cannot stay silent when our country’s highest state honor is held by a person who names military units after Nazi monsters,” SPD ally and PRO party leader Jindřich Rajchl told reporters.

The UPA is a WWII-era Ukrainian nationalist force viewed in Poland as responsible for massacres of tens of thousands of Poles in Volhynia and Eastern Galicia, while many Ukrainians regard it as a symbol of anti-Soviet resistance.

The SPD said it wants the Czech parliament to formally recommend that President Petr Pavel revoke Zelensky’s award.

Poland, Czechs and others will never forget what the Ukrainian Nazis did in WW2. Ukraine has statues to the Nazi Bandera in every city.

Anyone thinking Ukraine does not have a Neo Nazi problem is deluded. They are deeply entrenched in the highest levels of Ukie government.

The historical tensions between Ukraine, Poland, and others are real and go back a long way — Volhynia isn't ancient history to a lot of families.

Still, it's interesting how these stories surface consistently from certain angles.

Anyone else notice that a good chunk of the strongest anti-Ukraine posts here lately seem to come from the same small group of users? Just an observation.

It’s the same people who post pro-Urkaine posts.

They switch hats during commercials and argue with themselves.

You actually do post as an anti-American Russian agent, as far as conservative posters posting against Russia, that is just American patriotism 101, the United States and all of our global friends and allies support Ukraine and oppose Russia, and in fact Russia and their fellow combatants North Korea, are our enemies and we have troops stationed to defend against both of those armies.

You and a few others post AGAINST the American side in this Russian invasion, THAT is the wrong part, not the freepers who support the American side in this war.

Seems that way. The Zeekers and the Putie boys are both constant irritants.

From the article: ...proposed stripping Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky of the Czech Republic’s highest state honor...

This shows what the Czech government honors when they gave it to him in the first place. Disgusting.

There is no “American side” in the Ukraine war. Unless you’re one of the theorists who posit that we somehow started it.

“Allegedly”

“Poland views…”

Cut the crap. Historical fact exists. Uke nationalists hated Jews, slavs, and “ communists” which was anyone assisting in or associating with the Red Army fighting the German nazis.

Anyone thinking Russia does not have a Neo Nazi problem is deluded. They are deeply entrenched in the highest levels of Russian government.


While Putin’s government preaches anti-fascism to the public, investigations and geopolitical reports have documented a long history of the Russian state cultivating and utilizing far-right and neo-Nazi groups, both at home and abroad, to sow division in Western democracies.


As even a quick glance at these features suggests, Putin’s regime bears an uncomfortably close resemblance to Nazi Germany, while Putin himself closely resembles Hitler. Putin’s mobilization of Russians is not quite at Hitler’s level; his use of domestic violence is more limited (though Alexei Navalny’s murder suggests that violence may be about to take off); his network of punitive institutions is smaller than Hitler’s, and his glorification of war is a tad more restrained. Ideologically, Putin’s Russia is racist, though far less obsessively so than Nazi Germany, but it, too, has identified a group — the Ukrainians — as the source of all of Russia’s ills and tries to systematically destroy it.

“You and a few others post AGAINST the American side in this Russian invasion, THAT is the wrong part, not the freepers who support the American side in this war.”

He has relatives in Russia and plans to retire their.

He predicted that there US would break up into four new countries in 2026.

Now it is 2032 and five:

-———inthevooid——

“The computer models still forecast the US breaks into about 5 regions around 2032. When interest on debt reaches tax revenues getting much closer in 2028 when real problems start and by 2032, short collapsing government. With 6 states not participating in July 4th and a Somalia flag raised in Columbus , Ohio and for a short time in NYC before being removed by a citizen, it is hard to doubt we are entering very difficult times with the economy dropping off sharply soon and mass unemployment from business closings from massive price surges that are coming. Ironically this is exactly what the globalist like Soros and the WEF want are are winning.”

The Ukrainians are Slavs.

That’s why Himmler balked when the Ukraine offered to form a Waffen-SS division.

As far as the Germans are concerned, Slavs are Untermensch.

The historical relationship between Ukraine and Nazi Germany does not bear that out. The Ukrainian nationalists then and now view the Russians and slavs as an inferior race ( “ orcs”) which is why it was and remains their goal to separate from Russia, rewrite shared history, deny ethnic Russian presence such as the Russian orthodox church, Russian language and Russian history in the territory named Ukraine, and to form a “ pure” racial identity. They chose to ally with Germany in WW2 because of shared views of erasing inferior races and ethnic groups.

Go back and read more about the Ukraine nationalist movement. Why they still celebrate the war history of their nazi-allied units ( which still exist in name), why they practice the rituals and use the symbols of nazi mysticism. Why there were more Ukrainians than Germans executing civilians at Babi Yar, why even the Germans were appalled at the brutality of their Ukrainian allies.

LOL, you write as though Ukraine invaded Russia and is plotting to conquer the world as the superior race rather than being invaded by the always empire hungary Russians and that Ukraine is in a desperate fight to merely survive against the Russian, North Korean, and Muslim army forces they are trying to hold off as their cities are destroyed.

the American side in this war.

The American side is, as Trump stated, Peace. As that is not possible, Trump has pulled much of our aid from Ukraine…and rightly so.

“Go back and read more ... “

About how the Ukranians celebrated the Russians for liberating them from the German atrocities.
