diplomatic crisis

Lithuanian President Gitanas Nausėda said he is ready to mediate between Ukraine and Poland should Kyiv and Warsaw ask him to do so, LRT reported June 26.

Kyrylo Budanov, head of Ukraine’s Presidential Office, and his first deputy, Serhii Kyslytsia, traveled to Poland to try to resolve the dispute over the revocation of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s Order of the White Eagle, Zelenskyy said in an interview with TSN on June 21.

Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski announced the decision to shut down the Russian consulate in Gdańsk — the last one still operating in the country, Ukrinform reported on Nov. 19.

The events in Washington on Feb. 28 marked an unprecedented episode in global politics. After a heated confrontation in the Oval Office between U.S. President Donald Trump, Vice President J.D. Vance, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the Ukrainian delegation was expelled from the White House. This was not just a diplomatic incident—it will have serious consequences for the Russo-Ukrainian war and the global geopolitical balance. Moreover, the chances of active hostilities ending in 2025 have significantly decreased.
