Poland's Nawrocki Strips Zelenskyy of Top Honor Over 100,000-Death WWII Massacre Row

Summary
Karol Nawrocki revoked Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s top Polish state honor after Kyiv named a military unit for Ukrainian nationalist fighters tied to the wartime killing of about 100,000 Poles.
The move centers on one of the most sensitive historical disputes between the neighbors, involving fighters blamed for massacring Polish civilians, including women and children, during World War II.
The clash adds to signs that Poland’s support for Ukraine is fraying more than four years into the war, even as Poland remains a key EU hub for Western military aid to Kyiv.
