Summary
Donald Tusk said Poland and Ukraine were making a “strategic mistake” as their row over commemorating controversial World War II fighters intensified.
The dispute sharpened after President Karol Nawrocki stripped Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Poland’s highest state honor, prompting the Ukrainian president to return the award to Warsaw.
Tusk said limiting the damage and easing tensions would not be easy, underscoring how a historical memory fight has become a live political rupture between the neighbors.
