Zelensky Accuses Polish President of Fanning Anti-Ukrainian Hatred
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky sharply criticized Polish President Karol Nawrocki after Nawrocki decided to strip him of Poland’s highest decoration. In an interview with Ukrainian media, Zelensky said Nawrocki was stirring anti-Ukrainian sentiment for political gain ahead of Poland’s next prime ministerial election.
Zelensky said, “They have elections for prime minister next year, and Nawrocki is stoking hatred against Ukrainians so that a member of his party will win.” He argued that the move was part of a broader political pattern.
Zelensky compared Nawrocki’s behavior to that of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, saying, “This is exactly what Viktor Orban did. It is a very bad story and I think it will end badly.” The remarks came in response to the Polish decision to revoke the award, though the article does not specify the decoration or the reason given by Warsaw.
