Officials in the office of Polish President Karol Nawrocki have attempted to explain why Poland's highest state decoration, the Order of the White Eagle – which was stripped from Volodymyr Zelenskyy – is still held by former Italian dictator Benito Mussolini, Russian empress Catherine the Great and former German Chancellor and "friend of the Kremlin" Gerhard Schröder.

Quote: "The first two have been long dead, and Poland does not revoke the Order posthumously. The former German chancellor, on the other hand, has never insulted the Polish nation as overtly as the Ukrainian president did, though his work for Putin's Russia must indeed be denounced as harmful to Poland and Europe."
