Andrzej Duda is identified as a former president of Poland who awarded Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky with the White Eagle Order, Poland's highest state decoration, in April 2023. The award was later revoked by Polish Foreign Minister Karol Nawrocki due to Ukraine's glorification of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA), which is considered an extremist organization in Russia and is viewed negatively by many Poles. Duda’s decision to bestow the honor has been criticized for honoring a controversial historical group.
