Poland's nationalist president, Karol Nawrocki, announced on Friday that he is revoking Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelensky of the country's top award. This action escalates tensions between Poland and Ukraine, allies who are currently experiencing strained relations. The dispute stems from Zelensky's decision to name a Ukrainian army unit after a World War II nationalist insurgent army involved in massacres against Poles. Nawrocki's announcement comes shortly before Poland is scheduled to host the annual Ukraine Recovery Conference in Gdansk. It remains uncertain whether Zelensky will attend the conference.
