I then sketched the course of the negotiations with the Ukrainians.

I reported that the Ukrainians had originally demanded the cession of East Galicia, but that I had refused this.

With regard to the Ruthenian districts of Hungary also they had made demands which had been refused by me.

At present, they demanded the division of Galicia into two parts, and the formation of an independent Austrian province from East Galicia and Bukovina.

I pointed out the serious consequences which the acceptance of the Ukrainian demands would have upon the further development of the Austro-Polish question.
