Historically, parts of Ukraine have been parts of other countries just over the last few hundreds years. So any current borders don’t have any solid historical past anyway.

True...Much of Western Ukraine was Polish before the war, the Soviets kicked the Poles out. Lwów jest Polski!

Much of Western Ukraine was Polish before the war, the Soviets kicked the Poles out.

Of course, just 30 years before that this area was entirely Russian, as was most of what is now Poland.

"Historical boundaries" is a game fraught with contradictions.
