What are very bad when nationalistic feelings dominate so much that nationalistic individuals loose their touch with humanity. Namely, when Ukrainian nationalists in the name of Soborna Ukraina, the second largest Slavic state, committed atrocities in Galicia against civil population because they happened to be Polish and not Ukrainians. Currently, these atrocities are investigated in Lublin (Poland).
The atrocities were always initiated by the invaders of Ukraine.
The Ukrainians responded in kind. This is a fact that was agreed upon before the so called investigations even began. The invaders and colonizers were defeated according to how wars were fought during those times. How can invading murderers cry foul upon being defeated?
But back to the original issue If there is a so called non-Ukrainian Rusyn population (however they were created) they can build their own and not demand handout or creation of something that does not exist. The Ukrainian Rusyn are building their own wether Poland likes it or not. There are not enough so called non-Ukrainian Rusyn in Ukraine.
