AHC: Free City of Kiev?

Your challenge, if you choose to accept it, is make it so that the Ukraine is somehow divided up, whether thru war or ethnic strife, etc., and that the city of Kiev just happens to become a "Free City" along the lines of Gdansk/Danzig IOTL, as part of a compromise. This does not have to involve the survival of Poland-Lithuania as it once existed, but it may make things easier, as well.

POD can be anytime after 1600, and before 1900.
