Аннотация к работе
For the topic at hand it establishes relevancy and the need for reevaluation of Polish-Ukrainian relations, free of unburdened optimism. Finally, there is also the matter of popular opinion among the Poles and the Ukrainians, and how it affects official political matters. Even a lone man can affect the intricate web of politics, and bring the unresolved ethnic grievances back to the negotiations table, as a recent attack on the Polish Consulate in Lutsk has shown. While the Ukrainian officials probed for terrorist threat and declared unconditional support of the Polish side against the “hooligans”, the Republic of Poland has suspended all of its consulates in Ukraine “until the proper security can be pro - vided” [10; 11]. Materials and methods. The primary sources for the research are documents related to the international cooperation between the countries. Among those one could name both country-specific documents created for internal use (like the aforementioned classified theses) and the actual bilateral treaties between Ukraine and the Republic of Poland and non-classified documents relevant to both internal and external affairs.
