As someone who is neither Polish nor Ukrainian, I am a little confused with the historical, cultural, or political context. Wasn't Western Ukraine historically connected to Poland and Hungary, or more bluntly wasn't the border moved westward by the Soviets?
And wasn't the historical connection with Poland-Lithuania the reason why a linguistic division developed? Given the countless migrations that came through the Black Sea region since ancient times, how can one be so naive to believe that there is such a thing as a pure Ukrainian, Pole, Russian, etc?
I would assume Ukrainians also learn about the Greek colonies, Huns, Avars, or Bulgars, as well as many Eastern Germanic migrations. Does she not know many people also migrated within the Russian Empire and Soviet Union?

Gobi Desert was once full of green. Over-grazing to sustain population growth is what turned it into an inhabitable desert. As a result, some invaded or migrated southward into Northern China, others migrated westward all the way to Eastern Europe by 6th centuries.
Most of Europe was native forests until large-scale agriculture and herding altered the landscape. The migrants arriving in the US from Central America, or in Europe arriving from Africa and the Middle-east are also fundamentally caused by over-population, climate change, drought, deforestation, and conflicts stemming from those factors.
Put differently, if we cannot figure out population control and over-exploitation of land, we'll all end up like Haiti, Madagascar, or Somalia. Since the land can only support a finite amount od population, one can argue that it's a form of natural culling.
