Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine (OPU) Kyrylo Budanov stated that the situation in relations between Ukraine and Poland is not a conflict, but diplomatic tension and a contradiction. At the same time, he assessed the current escalation between official Kyiv and Warsaw as a serious mistake. He said this during an open conversation with students of the Kyiv-Mohyla Academy on June 26, reports UNN.

According to Kyrylo Budanov, the current situation between Ukraine and Poland has not yet reached its peak, but further escalation could have negative consequences if the sides do not stop in time.
With Poland, this is a classic diplomatic tension. It is not a conflict, it is a contradiction, let's put it that way. This is not the peak yet, believe me. It will go further if everyone does not stop a little
He emphasized that he considers the escalation in relations with neighboring states to be a wrong path, as it could lead to both political and economic problems.
I assess it very poorly, I assess it as a mistake. Moreover, a terrible mistake. I return again to what I said earlier: the ancient rules are that you must have good or neutral relations with your neighbors. Escalation with neighbors always causes serious problems - from political to purely economic
Budanov also called the actions of Polish politicians that led to such a decision a manifestation of immaturity.
I assess this as immaturity, first and foremost. Simply immaturity. I assess this as the immaturity of people in Poland who pushed for and ultimately made such a decision
According to him, the corresponding step looks unprepared and unworked.
This is very strange, and it is unworked and unprepared. Because if you are going to go into such things, you should have at least stripped Mussolini and so on. Because it looks extremely strange
Reminder
Earlier, Deputy Head of the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs Władysław Teofil Bartoszewski stated that the dispute over state awards is pointless. He believes there was no need to strip Zelenskyy of the Order of the White Eagle.
