Could you say when the Ukrainian State lost the territory?

Bert,
I just wanted to help by providing an old pre WWII map of the area.
Sorry for any misunderstanding.

I've enclosed a very old map, pre WWII of Odessa and area.
This area was Poland's ancestral land for many centuries that
is why all the towns are in Polish.
Zbyszek,
I am afraid that you are making a bit of an imperialist boast here.
Because there is nothing `Polish ancestral' about Odessa.
The Polish-Lithuanian Confederation occupied these Ukrainian lands
until they lost the territory.
And, of course, no lands remain `ancestral' for just a few
centuries.
They are so forever - or not at all.
