Polish President Threatens to Revoke Highest Honor from Zelensky

Polish President Karol Nawrocki said he will convene the Order of the White Eagle Council to discuss revoking the highest Polish honor from President Volodymyr Zelensky. The move is in response to a decree naming a Ukrainian special forces unit after UPA fighters, who killed about 100,000 Poles during World War II. Polish leaders and Nobel laureate Lech Walesa have expressed outrage over the decision.
