		The main thing that prompted Mazepa to initiate secret talks initially with representatives of the Polish King Stanislaus Leszczynski, who was supported by the Swedes, and then with Carl XII himself, was Tsar Peter’s unwillingness to meet his commitments to defend Ukraine from external enemies in wartime.
		As Orlyk stresses this in no uncertain terms, a question arises: was it not naive to mention such things in a letter ostensibly written in order to obtain a pardon?
