Ukraine's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has stated that it is working to de-escalate tensions and reduce emotional rhetoric in relations with Poland. The Ukrainian foreign ministry spokesperson, Georgiy Tikhyy, emphasized that Ukraine supports dialogue with Poland and is actively engaged in diplomatic efforts to ease strained relations. He noted that despite 'attention-grabbing headlines' and 'statements being thrown around' by both sides, quiet diplomatic work continues. Tikhyy stressed that Ukraine's position is well-balanced and that the country remains committed to dialogue, including on complex historical issues. He also cautioned against equating Polish President Andrzej Duda's stance with that of Poland as a whole or Polish society.

Polish President Andrzej Duda has decided to revoke Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's Order of the White Eagle, citing concerns over the historical legacy of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (UPA).

In his statement, Duda emphasized that the Order of the White Eagle symbolizes Poland's highest trust and gratitude, and thus requires respect for shared values. He clarified that this action does not reflect a change in Poland's strategic security policies toward Ukraine but rather a commitment to preserving Poland's historical memory and state symbols.
