Polish Order of the White Eagle controversy

On 19 June 2026, Polish president Karol Nawrocki stripped the Polish Order of the White Eagle from Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy, after Zelenskyy gave a Ukrainian military unit an honorary title referencing the Ukrainian Insurgent Army, who were responsible for the Volhynia genocide. In response, Zelenskyy sent the Order of the White Eagle back to the Polish Presidential Chancellery through Nova Poshta.
