Deputy Marshal of the Senate of Poland returned state awards to Ukraine
Michal Kaminsky, Vice Marshal of the Polish Senate, has decided to return two Ukrainian state awards he received for his work promoting Ukraine's European integration. In a letter to Ukraine's ambassador, Kaminsky stated that his decision was driven by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's actions and statements, which he claims have been supported by all previous Ukrainian presidents and most of the country's political elite. Kaminsky emphasized that he accepted the awards as recognition of his long-term commitment to building strategic partnership between Poland and Ukraine, including authoring the first report in the history of the European Parliament on Ukraine's EU membership. He noted that Poland has consistently supported Ukraine politically, diplomatically, and economically, despite historical tensions, but feels that this goodwill has not been reciprocated adequately. Kaminsky highlighted ongoing difficulties with exhumations of victims of the Volyn massacre as a symbol of this imbalance.
