Ukraine's PM to head delegation at reconstruction conference in Poland
Svyrydenko will lead the delegation as the conference faces fallout from a dispute that prompted Poland to strip Zelensky of its highest honour.
- On Tuesday, Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko announced she will lead Ukraine's delegation to the Ukraine Recovery Conference in Gdańsk, effectively confirming President Volodymyr Zelensky will not attend the event.

- Poland hosts over 1.5 million Ukrainians and serves as a critical logistics hub for Western aid, yet Zelensky accused Polish politicians of exploiting the diplomatic spat for domestic elections ahead of next year's vote.

Tensions between Warsaw and Kiev continue to escalate. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will not attend the international conference on the reconstruction of Ukraine in Gdansk, as originally planned, and will send Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko instead. The Deputy Speaker of the Polish Senate, Michał Kamiński, has meanwhile returned a state decoration from Ukraine. In a joint statement, the media of both countries called for calm.
