President Karol Nawrocki: I have decided to revoke the Order of the White Eagle from the President of Ukraine

Historical truth is not, and can never be, a bargaining chip. Remembering the victims is a moral obligation of the Polish state.

Facts are not subject to negotiation; they do not change with political circumstances or necessities. The facts are that at least 100,000 Polish citizens were murdered by the UPA in Volhynia, Eastern Galicia, the Lublin region, and the Subcarpathian region, solely because they were Poles, Jews, or members of other minorities. It is a fact that the victims were residents of villages and small towns โ€“ entire families, women, children, and the elderly.

The Order of the White Eagle is not just an ordinary award. It is a symbol of the Republic of Polandโ€™s highest trust. It signifies a special bond with the Polish state and the nationโ€™s profound gratitude. Such a symbol requires not only merit but also respect for the values that form the foundation of our community.

Therefore, in light of President Volodymyr Zelenskyyโ€™s consent to name one of the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine โ€œHeroes of the UPA,โ€ and after consulting with the Chapter, I have decided to revoke the Order of the White Eagle from the President of Ukraine.

 

Poland will not consent to the glorification of those who murdered defenseless Polish civilians.
