Polish and Ukrainian presidents meet for first time since start of diplomatic crisis

Poland's President Karol Nawrocki and Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky met for the first time since a diplomatic crisis erupted between the two nations. The conflict began when Zelensky honored a military unit with ties to the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA), which Poland views as responsible for wartime atrocities against Poles. In response, Nawrocki revoked Zelensky's honorary title, prompting Zelensky to withdraw from a planned conference in Poland and assert sovereignty over historical narratives. The meeting occurred at the NATO summit in Turkey, where both leaders emphasized the importance of dialogue despite their differences. Nawrocki stressed that Poland and Europe cannot accept references to UPA members linked to the Volhynia massacres, while Zelensky's team indicated further discussions might take place.
