Polish President Karol Nawrocki has decided to strip his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, of Poland's highest state honour, the Order of the White Eagle. The decision follows a diplomatic row after Zelenskyy named a Ukrainian special forces unit after the UPA, the Ukrainian Insurgent Army, which Poland holds responsible for the World War II killing of around a hunder thousand Polish civilians. Critics warn the dispute plays into the hands of Russia's Vladimir Putin.

Since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Moscow has reportedly lost some 1,400,000 troops, according to Ukraine’s Armed Forces General Staff.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has issued a stark warning to Belarus, demanding that military equipment near Ukraine's border be withdrawn within a week or, he says, Kyiv will act.
