It was a mistake by both sides. @ brothers war just like the Polish-Ukrainian war.
Considering how much closer Little Russians are to Great Russians, that's even more applicable to the current conflict.
A long celebrated (even under communism) aspect of it was the Polish side's use of child soldiers (Orlęta Lwowskie), which is awkward from today's perspective but was not limited to this episode (including a lot during WWII).
Mindless presentism. Besides, Poles are born with a knife between their teeth.

They're not any "Little Russians".
'Ukraine' is Little Russia.
'Russia' is Outer Mongolia.
Cute. Any history of Russia being called that?
