In today's Back of the Brief, I want to talk about a wartime alliance that has run headfirst into an old historical grievance.

Ukrainian President Zelensky has returned Poland's highest state honor after the Polish president stripped him of the award over a World War II controversy.

The award at the center of the controversy is called the Order of the White Eagle.

It's Poland's highest state decoration.

For background, former Polish President Andrzej Duda awarded it to Zelenski in 2023, as Ukraine was a year into fighting off Russia's invasion, recognizing what Poland described as his contributions to security, resilience and the defense of human rights.

In the U.S., the closest comparison for this medal would be a foreign leader returning the Presidential Medal of Freedom after it had been revoked.

As we've discussed here on the PDB, Poland has been one of Ukraine's most important supporters.

It's hosted millions of refugees, served as a critical transit hub for military aid, and consistently pushed for stronger backing for Kiev from NATO and the European Union.
