Which are sensitive subjects in Polish-Ukrainian relations. The message was published in Ukrainian, Russian and Polish, which according to several polish acquaintances of mine looks like something Google Translate would produce.
Make no mistake who the real offender is.
I don't have any illusions about the cyberattack, my (mild) issue is specifically with Reuters reporting, or their upstream source. Who selectively filtered out the bit they deemed unimportant or harmful or whatever there was on their mind. Reuters' release will be reposted by virtually every English-speaking media unchanged, and they will have no way, time, or desire to verify it, neither will their readers.
Makes me wonder what else they are omitting for my convenience in unrelated topics I don't happen to know anything about.
A conversation can be had about Northern Bukovina, as the Habsburgs had stolen it first (in the 1770s) before it temporarily came back under Romanian rule in 1918, but the county of Herța[2] had been under Romanian rule ever since the first Romanian principalities were formed (in the late 1300s in the case of the Principality of Moldova). This latter piece of land was given directly to Ukraine by Stalin.

I agree about the unfurling part, I was just trying to point out that the Ukrainian state crying about "the big bad Russian wolf" when that bad wolf is a major reason behind their actual foundation as a State is a bit hypocritical. Even more so when the Ukrainian state expects us, their neighbours, to join in in their battles against the Russians.

Got in to NATO, raise up the ladder!
The only people interested in rekindling these kind of conflicts are the ones from Kremlin (note: not Russians, because Russians just like any other normal people don't want any war). For everyone else this would just lead to endless suffering.
The message also reads "For Volyn, for OUN UPA, for Galicia, for Polesia, and for historical lands", but I guess Reuters can't be bothered with details.
