Instead of him, Ukraine's delegation at the conference in Poland will be headed by Prime Minister Yuliya Svyrydenko, writes the BBC.

«I will lead the Ukrainian delegation and, in general, our work at URC-2026 in Gdańsk,» — stated the Prime Minister of Ukraine in a Telegram message.
Ukraine Recovery Conference (URC) is a conference on Ukraine's recovery, in which Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was supposed to participate.
Last week, Polish President Karol Nawrocki decided to strip Zelenskyy of the Order of the White Eagle in connection with the conferment of the title «Heroes of UPA» to one of the AFU (Armed Forces of Ukraine) formations (In Poland, it is perceived as criminal due to the Volhynian tragedy).
Following Zelenskyy's action, three former presidents of Ukraine refused Polish state awards. Zelenskyy sent his order to Warsaw using the express delivery service «Nova Poshta», and the office of the President of Poland has already received the parcel.
After the escalation of the political scandal, the main intrigue remained whether Zelenskyy would go to Gdańsk for the major conference on Ukraine's recovery.
