Zelenskiy returns Order of the White Eagle medal back to Poland via the Ukrainian postal service:
The Ukrainian Review
@UkrReview
🇺🇦🇵🇱 Zelensky: Mr. President of Poland noted that the Order of the White Eagle is not an ordinary award. It is a symbol of the highest trust of the Commonwealth. It means a special connection with the Polish state and special gratitude of the people.
Such a symbol requires not only merit, but also respect for the values that form the foundation of our community.
So, if it is believed that this special symbol can remain with Catherine the Great, Benito Mussolini and Gerhard Schroeder, then we in Ukraine will not argue with this.
Ukraine is grateful to the Polish people for their support and cooperation, which plays a significant role in the struggle for our and your independence from Russia.
Ukraine never forgets solidarity and knows that cooperation between states and peoples in our region is one of the tangible guarantees of security for both Ukrainians and every neighboring state.
Ukraine will continue to defend itself in this war unleashed by Russia, and we will definitely gain a worthy peace.
We believed that the Order of the White Eagle was addressed to the Ukrainian people and our army in 2023. That's what was said then. Today I sent the Order to the President of Poland.
I think the future will confirm the respect for Ukrainians. Glory to Ukraine!
