Zelenskyy angers Poland with WWII-era name for army unit
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy issued a May 2026 decree naming a Ukrainian special forces unit 'Heroes of the UPA', sparking major diplomatic backlash in Poland, as the WWII-era Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) committed massacres of tens of thousands of Polish civilians. Polish President Karol Nawrocki has moved to strip Zelenskyy of Poland's highest honor, the Order of the White Eagle, while Prime Minister Donald Tusk has pushed to de-escalate tensions to preserve Poland's support for Ukraine amid its ongoing war with Russia.
