A COSSACK STATE
FUTURE GF UKRAINE REPORTED PROJECT RUSSIA AS AN ENEMY [By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright] PRAGUE, Feb. 19. Semi-ollicial Slovak sources reveal that General Popov, former chief of the Ukrainian Cossacks, and his aide-de-camp, Sergie Federov, recently discussed with officials of the German Government in Berlin the formation of a Ukrainian Federation. It is understood that an agreement was reached on four points:— (1) That all anti-Com/nunist Cossacks shall be gathered under unified control and steps taken for the eventual creation of a Cossack army; (2) the creation of an independent Cossack State to be named “The Federation of the South-east,” comprising an area of 194.000 square miles with a population of 15,000,000; (3) treaties of friendship between the Federation and all its neighbours; (4) precautionary measures against any attacks upon the new state by Russia. Upon his return to Prague Federov claimed that the Federation would make it possible for the Reich to shelve for the time being plans to create a greater Ukraine, which obviously at present could not be realised without conflict with the Soviet.
