Poland's real leverage over Ukraine lies in jobs and clinics, not medal disputes

The Polish-Ukrainian dispute triggered by Zelensky's decision has played out at the level of symbols — medals returned in gestures of solidarity — but a commentator argues the real Polish leverage lies elsewhere. Nearly 1.6 million Ukrainian citizens live in Poland, relying on its labour market, healthcare and housing. This economic and social dependency, the author contends, gives Warsaw far more genuine influence than any exchange of decorations.
