As someone who is neither Polish nor Ukrainian, I am a little confused with the historical, cultural, or political context. Wasn't Western Ukraine historically connected to Poland and Hungary, or more bluntly wasn't the border moved westward by the Soviets?
And wasn't the historical connection with Poland-Lithuania the reason why a linguistic division developed? Given the countless migrations that came through the Black Sea region since ancient times, how can one be so naive to believe that there is such a thing as a pure Ukrainian, Pole, Russian, etc?
I would assume Ukrainians also learn about the Greek colonies, Huns, Avars, or Bulgars, as well as many Eastern Germanic migrations. Does she not know many people also migrated within the Russian Empire and Soviet Union?
