Ever hear of the Polish principality Ukraine?
And Poland got into wars with Cossacks, haidamaks, Ukr.Galician Army and as late as the 1940s with Bandera. But the last 60 years have been the most peaceful with Poland since 11-12th cent. Currently Ukraine has no grievances with Poland. Actually, Romania is even more troublesome for Ukraine than Poland.

"Russia and Ukraine are brothers not cousins.
With brothers like these who needs enemies? :)

The soviets took Ukraine out of a lack of a religion.

The Poles took Ukraine out of an imperial idea that they were better than Ukraine, and their pope was a superior head of the church than Christ who is the head of the Orthodox church.

If Peter Mohila were alive he sure wouldn't be suggesting that Polish or Muslim rule was better than Russian.

Well Poles backed Yushchenko, and Poland has been trying to takeover Ukraine and force them to covert to Catholicism ever 100 years or so. We're due for another shot soon.

Ukraine as usual will come begging Russia to help.
