According to him, Zapur stated this during the round table “The Volyn experiment of Heinrich Yuzevsky: the road to Polish-Ukrainian reconciliation in the interwar period,” which took place on November 6 at the Rivne Regional Museum of Local Lore.
“A landing party from Lutsk, led by Vice-Consul Marek Zapur and Professor Nikolai Kucherepa, arrived at the round table, who presented the diaries of Henryk Yuzevsky, republished in Ukrainian.
Ukrainian scientists at the round table clearly stated that the event is provocative and it is not worth celebrating the birthdays of the Polish occupation official Henryk Yuzevsky, since Poland captured part of the UPR territory in 1919-1920. In fact, the “Volyn experiment” was aimed at establishing Polish power and polonization and assimilation of local Ukrainians.
In response, the vice-consul stood up and stated that the Ukrainian state did not exist at that time, Lviv is a Polish city, and in modern times it can be argued that Ukraine occupied Crimea and Donbass in a similar way,” Marchuk said.
