Ukraine Holds Reconstruction Conference in Poland Amid Diplomatic Tensions

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will not attend the Ukraine Reconstruction Conference in Gdansk, Poland, amid a diplomatic row over historical issues related to the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA). The tensions began after Polish President Karol Nawrocki revoked Zelenskyy’s Order of the White Eagle, prompting several Ukrainian officials to return Polish awards. Despite the rift, experts say Poland’s military support for Ukraine is unlikely to waver, as both nations see Russia as a greater threat.
