The Story

A Polish presidential aide urged Prime Minister Donald Tusk to find the courage to formally strip Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Poland's highest honor. The aide's statement was made on August 6, 2026. This call comes amid reports that missile supplies to Ukraine have been cut threefold, according to Zelenskyy. He also stated that he spoke with the NATO chief about securing more missile interceptors. Zelenskyy has ordered the preparation of a special sanctions operation against Russia and has ended the postings of three ambassadors in Balkan countries. Separately, a survey indicates Zelenskyy ranks sixth in a political leaders trust rating. In a hypothetical second-round matchup, he reportedly loses to Valerii Zaluzhnyi, Kyrylo Budanov, and Mykhailo Fedorov. Zelenskyy has previously stated that Ukraine's Western partners are delaying the supply of weapons. He noted that the reduction in missile supplies was threefold. He also mentioned that he had spoken with the NATO Secretary General about the need for more missile interceptors. Zelenskyy has ordered the preparation of a special sanctions operation against Russia. He has also terminated the assignments of three ambassadors serving in Balkan countries.
