The Day the Poland-Ukraine Diplomatic Crisis Deepened

Editors led with the escalating rift between Warsaw and Kyiv over the Order of the White Eagle. Zelensky's sharp warning to Poland's president and Polish media's description of a 'staggering catastrophe' dominated evening coverage. Earlier, attention focused on Russian strikes: a morning attack on a Sumy house killed a child and two adults, while two foreign civilian ships were hit in the Black Sea, killing a sailor. By afternoon, reports emerged of Ukrainian strikes on a space communication center in Moscow and a missile component factory in Voronezh. Other developments included British PM Starmer's resignation, Lukashenko's emergency meeting with Putin after Zelensky's threats, and the start of summer power outages in Ukraine.
