Those offers happened once the stick of the embargo was used, so it is pretty obvious that it was an offer that they were not allowed to refuse.
And this is the crux of the issue Poland has with Russia. Whether its commies, tsars or now ex-KGB colonels, some things just simply don't change.
Those are very funny accusations to get from Russia of all places.
Just like Putin has no designs on Germany's territory. Technicalities are all fun, but they don't change the fact that there are many ways to gain undue control over other countries and grabbing their clay is just one of them.
And here we go with technicalities. Yeah, he fought Nazis, lets forget he's also one of the leader whose reign still raises arguments about whether it was worse than the former or not...
Its an oddly similar story with Bandera. For Ukrainian nationalists, he's also a hero who fought Soviets and Nazis. Likewise, they put less attention to the question of whether he was any better than them...
Since when was Russia in a customs union with Ukraine?
Eurasian Customs Union - Wikipedia
Where's Ukraine?

Obviously Ukrainian goods were crossing into the territory of the customs union, which means Ukraine was not in it.
Also how is embargo an appropriate reaction to not being in a customs union, rather than you know, just not taking it into the union, or kicking it out if it was in already?
Ukraine was merely working on getting observer status in the customs union, which of course made kicking it out impossible, because it didn't even join yet.
Should all countries Russia is not in a customs union with just randomly embargo Russia for shits and giggles?
