Abstract
Following the German aggression on the Second Polish Republic in September 1939, a group of the Ukrainians decided to fight for the establishment of their own state. Their attitude clearly entailed collaboration with the Germans. Followers from this movement gathered above all around the Ukrainian Central Committee, which was founded in April 1940. Born in Poland, Volodymyr Kubiyovych became its leader. He believed in changing the situation of their fellow countrymen and wanted to become their commissioner in relations with German authorities. The article discusses the role of the Ukrainian Central Committee in Ukrainian political life during the war, as well as objectives and tasks set for the Committee by its founders. It points out the intentions of the Germans towards this community and a number of events which reflected the low political significance of the Ukrainians. They were exploited by the Germans without getting any chance to pursue their own objective to establish an independent state. The significance of the Ukrainian Central Committee diminished over time and it ultimately ended its activity on 17th April 1945.
