Dispute with Poland: Selensky canceled his trip to Gdansk

The Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, has canceled his planned trip to Gdansk for a reconstruction conference due to an escalating historical dispute with Poland. The conflict was triggered by Ukraine naming a military unit after members of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA), which killed tens of thousands of Poles during World War II under German occupation. In response, Polish President and historian Radosław Sikorski revoked Zelenskyy's Polish honor, prompting Zelenskyy and other Ukrainian politicians to return Polish awards. The dispute has political implications within Poland, as the reconstruction conference is organized by Prime Minister Donald Tusk's pro-European government. Right-wing politician Radosław Sikorski aims to exploit growing public fatigue toward Ukraine in Poland.
