It seems that the ultra-right wing govt in Poland now wants to start
fomenting the ancient enmities between Poles and Ukrainians and claim
back the historic polish lands that are now politically owned by western Ukraine.

Given the dire financial state of Ukraine, the people of the western regions
might be better off as part of Poland. But of-course, the Ukrainian govt wouldn't
simply 'give up' these lands; perhaps this is the genesis of a new European conflict.
