German Disarmament Order Defied by Polish Troops
German attempts to disarm Polish units in the Ukraine and Minsk governments meet fierce resistance. The second Polish corps under General Makovitzky near Kaneff defies the 24 hour ultimatum, fights 15,000 Germans, and loses artillery while the Poles suffer heavy losses. The first Polish corps near Rogacheff avoids disarmament by staying separate, but a clash is expected as Prince Leopold of Bavaria orders disarmament of all Polish troops. Ukrainian loyalists to the Rada resist alongside Poles, aided by peasants.
