loading=\"lazy\"><span>ADVERTISEMENT<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The meeting comes ahead of the upcoming Ankara NATO summit in Turkey. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cJoint positions ahead of the NATO summit in Ankara were discussed. During the talks, priorities were set for regional cooperation and for the security of the Baltic and Black Sea basins, and key issues in transatlantic relations were also discussed,\u201d the Presidential Chancellery wrote on X. <\/p>\n<p>The participants also focused on strengthening NATO\u2019s eastern flank, developing Europe\u2019s defence capabilities, and activity within the framework of the Bucharest Nine and the Three Seas Initiative.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Chancellery, the presidents raised issues linked to the development of energy and transport infrastructure in the region. They also discussed the future of the European Union and the main challenges facing the bloc.<\/p>\n<p>Just before the talks, the leaders visited the Naval Port in Gdynia.<\/p>\n<h2>Naus\u0117da on mediating in the Polish-Ukrainian dispute<\/h2>\n<p>During the meeting, the issue of deteriorating relations between Poland and Ukraine was raised. Lithuanian President Gitanas Naus\u0117da had earlier declared his readiness to mediate between Warsaw and Kyiv, provided both sides showed such willingness.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn an informal setting, we will also talk about this issue, which is extremely important to me,\u201d the Lithuanian leader said. Naus\u0117da added that he would like to hear President Nawrocki\u2019s position on the roots of the conflict and ways to resolve it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe past matters, but the present is even more important, especially while Russia\u2019s brutal war against Ukraine continues,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n<h2>Background to the conflict<\/h2>\n<p>Tensions in Polish-Ukrainian relations escalated recently after Ukraine&#8217;s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy\u2019s decision to name a military unit &#8220;Heroes of the UPA&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The move drew criticism from, among others, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, Deputy Prime Minister and Defence Minister W\u0142adys\u0142aw Kosiniak-Kamysz, and Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Rados\u0142aw Sikorski. <\/p>\n<p>In response to the decision, Nawrocki stripped Zelenskyy of the Order of the White Eagle, Warsaw&#8217;s highest honour. The Ukrainian president returned the state decoration back to Warsaw by courier.<\/p>\n<p>The dispute concerns the historical assessment of the activities of the Organisation of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN) and the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA), held responsible for the genocidal ethnic cleansing of the Polish population of Volhynia and Eastern Lesser Poland in 1943\u201345.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>

of Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Romania was held at the presidential residence in Jurata, hosted by Polish President Karol Nawrocki.The meeting comes ahead of the upcoming Ankara NATO summit in Turkey.\u201cJoint positions ahead of the NATO summit in Ankara were discussed. During the talks, priorities were set for regional cooperation and for the security of the Baltic and Black Sea basins, and key issues in transatlantic relations were also discussed,\u201d the Presidential Chancellery wrote on X.The participants also focused on strengthening NATO\u2019s eastern flank, developing Europe\u2019s defence capabilities, and activity within the framework of the Bucharest Nine and the Three Seas Initiative.According to the Chancellery, the presidents raised issues linked to the development of energy and transport infrastructure in the region. They also discussed the future of the European Union and the main challenges facing the bloc.Just before the talks, the leaders visited the Naval Port in Gdynia.Naus\u0117da on mediating in the Polish-Ukrainian disputeDuring the meeting, the issue of deteriorating relations between Poland and Ukraine was raised. Lithuanian President Gitanas Naus\u0117da had earlier declared his readiness to mediate between Warsaw and Kyiv, provided both sides showed such willingness.\u201cIn an informal setting, we will also talk about this issue, which is extremely important to me,\u201d the Lithuanian leader said. Naus\u0117da added that he would like to hear President Nawrocki\u2019s position on the roots of the conflict and ways to resolve it.\u201cThe past matters, but the present is even more important, especially while Russia\u2019s brutal war against Ukraine continues,\u201d he stressed.Background to the conflictTensions in Polish-Ukrainian relations escalated recently after Ukraine&#8217;s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy\u2019s decision to name a military unit &#8220;Heroes of the UPA&#8221;.The move drew criticism from, among others, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, Deputy Prime Minister and Defence Minister W\u0142adys\u0142aw Kosiniak-Kamysz, and Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Rados\u0142aw Sikorski.In response to the decision, Nawrocki stripped Zelenskyy of the Order of the White Eagle, Warsaw&#8217;s highest honour. The Ukrainian president returned the state decoration back to Warsaw by courier.The dispute concerns the historical assessment of the activities of the Organisation of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN) and the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA), held responsible for the genocidal ethnic cleansing of the Polish population of Volhynia and Eastern Lesser Poland in 1943\u201345.<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/my-europe\/2026\/06\/28\/nawrocki-invites-four-presidents-to-informal-summit-amid-dispute-with-zelenskyy&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/81\/64\/75\/1200x675_cmsv2_2389776d-795b-5ef0-b988-fc3131beaa03-9816475.jpg&#8221;] Iran Iran threatens total halt to talks as US warplanes circle above Hormuz Earth News Swiss glaciers melting rapidly in June as Europe faces extreme heat Top News Stories Today Latest news bulletin | June 28th, 2026 \u2013 Evening Sport Heavyweights Deliver a Spectacular Finish in Qingdao Iran Iran threatens total halt [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[90],"tags":[226,36],"class_list":["post-2016106","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-international","tag-crawlmanager","tag-euronews-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2016106","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2016106"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2016106\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2016106"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2016106"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2016106"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
