After a series of military defeats in the war with Russia, the Council abandoned the temporary capital, Kamianets-Podilskyi, on 9 Jul 1920 and crossed the border on 16 Jul 1920, effectively becoming a government-in-exile. The Council briefly returned to Ukraine, resuming its operations in Kamianets-Podilskyi on 11 Nov 1920, but was forced to leave on 14 Nov 1920 and moved to the territory of Poland shortly after. |
