Nawrocki and Zelensky Meet But Bitter Poland-Ukraine History Clash Left ‘Unresolved’
- On Wednesday, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Polish President Karol Nawrocki met on the sidelines of the NATO summit in Ankara, resuming dialogue for the first time since the diplomatic crisis over a military unit's renaming.
- Tensions flared after Zelenskyy conferred the honorary title 'in the name of the Heroes of the UPA' on a military unit in May, prompting Nawrocki to strip him of Poland's highest honor, the Order of the White Eagle.
- The UPA is associated with the massacre of around 100,000 Polish civilians in World War II, fueling the dispute. Former President Lech WaBsa accused Zelenskyy of 'honouring UPA bandits,' removing his Ukrainian flag badge in protest.
- Speaking at a press conference, Nawrocki called the meeting 'constructive' yet acknowledged the two sides 'had not managed to resolve historical issues.' Both leaders agreed Russia remains the main threat to Poland and Ukraine.
- The European Parliament expressed regret over the dispute last month, as many leading political figures returned state honors while tensions between the neighboring allies continued escalating amid their shared security concerns.
