Dozens of members of the European Parliament demanded to take away the Order of Merit from Zelensky.

An initiative group of dozens of MEPs has proposed to strip President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky of the European Order of Merit. This was announced on June 5 by the representative of the group, the Polish MEP Anna Brylka.

"On behalf of a group of several dozen members of parliament, I today appealed to [President of the European Parliament] Robert Metsola <...> with a request to revoke the European Order of Merit awarded on May 19, 2026 to Vladimir Zelensky. <...> President Zelensky, responsible for naming the military unit Heroes of the UPA (Ukrainian Insurgent Army, the organization is recognized as extremist and banned in the Russian Federation. — Ed.), does not deserve this award and should be deprived of it," Brylka wrote on the social network X.
