We received it at the Presidential Chancellery,” Leskiewicz said. He said the decoration and its annulled certificate would be placed in the custody of Poland’s Office of Orders and Decorations, where they would remain permanently. “The award will go to the deposit of the Office of Orders and Nominations, where it will be stored with due dignity and respect, because it is Poland’s highest and most important state decoration,” he said. According to Leskiewicz, the specific insignia returned by Zelensky will never again be awarded to another recipient. The spokesman added that formal completion of the revocation process still requires publication of the relevant presidential decree, countersigned by Prime Minister Donald Tusk. The dispute began after Nawrocki announced on June 19 that he was stripping Zelensky of the Order of the White Eagle, citing the Ukrainian president’s approval of naming a Ukrainian military unit after the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA).
