20.06.2026 ⇢ The Day Zelensky Mailed Back the White Eagle
⌨
The day was dominated by the diplomatic rupture with Poland over the Order of the White Eagle. After President Navrotsky stripped Zelensky of the award, Zelensky mailed it back via Nova Poshta, a gesture covered by multiple outlets. Budanov and former presidents also renounced their orders. Earlier, editors highlighted Zelensky's ultimatum to Lukashenko to remove Russian drone relay stations within a week. By afternoon, a Russian airstrike on Zaporizhzhia killed at least five, and Zelensky warned of an impending massive Russian strike. Overnight, explosions in Crimea caused a fire at the Tavriyska power plant, and Kharkiv was hit by guided bombs, injuring a child. The frontline saw 157–234 clashes, and Ukraine struck a bridge over the Henichesk Strait.
