Dude ur title is wrong, it is Ukrainian Armies fighting against Reichz Pospolita (basically polnad)

[Baltvilks]

Dude, there were no Ukrainian armies there were some irregular cossacks that defected from the Polish service and enjoyed military support from Russia and Turkey and armed peasant mobs

[Ivashchuk303]

your wrong u dont know ukrainian history at all sorry also wat movie is this?

[Baltvilks]

As a pofessional historian, I know it much better than you kid.

I mean REAL history. Not an "alternative one" which some 'greater nations' invent for themselves :)

[BratWody]

yeah both side had losty this war, but still it was the nobelmen fault it happened. This is a lesson to our both nations that when we fight with each other nobody wins only Moscow.

@Baltvilks Definition of insanity: “To do the same thing and expect different results”.

I love Ukraine & I know: every time when 2 our prideful nations couldn’t find agreement wins only one country – Russia. Unless you hate Poland completely, the last thing you should do FOR POLAND is to insult or fight with Ukraine. How many more lessons do we need to learn it???

[Baltvilks]

@MsOKZS Kievan Rus was a Scandinavian colony but NOT Ukraine. However, Ukrainian state is coming from Halicz-Wolhynia (predominantly) and to some very little extent - from Kievan Rus that ceased to exist after the Mongol invasion and had NO DESCENDANTS due to the mass exodus of the population and the elites.

@Baltvilks In his documentary " Ukraine -birth of the nation." your famous JERZY HOFFMAN talks a lot about Polish-Ukrainian relationships during the history. There he says that in the past Poland lost many opportunities in Polish-Ukrainian relationships, and also that because Poland failed to find an agreement with Ukrainians, Poland was divided 4 times during its history, for 150 years seized to exist & in 20c. got communism.

@BratWody

Em... check the videos about polish borders in 16th and 17th century. There was no ukraine back then.

[BratWody]

@Vessemir I don't think ukrainian land was polish, different times... I see it as a needles civil war.

[Vessemir]

@BratWody

Fight each other? Omfg. Poles were defending THEIR lands before Cossacks. I know ut's ukraine now but i wasn't back then.

Ukrainians had no or very little representation because they been so surprised for hundreds of year, politically, culturally, economically and socially. Majority of population in galicia was ukrainians thats fact. They were highly influenced by poles even in villages. Yes poles, germans, hungarians helped to build big western Ukrainians cities. THats those cities were controlled by those ethnicities. Through those cities poles were able exercise he control over Ukrainian lands

[lirika69]

Stop referencing to WWI deals. They don' mean anything. League of nations just represented the power of elite nations. Poland lobbied the fuck of league of nations to let them have those land.

[GaullistFan]

Hungarians were in Galicia first and they always support Poland in getting it after Kievan Rus kicked them out. Poles built Lwow and Ivano-Frankovsk. League of Nations, Symon Petlura, Romania, Hungary, France, UK, Lenin accepted Polish claims to Lwow.
