Self descriptive, AHC: make the Ukrainian Free state survive till WW2 in any size as an independent society free from being a vassal of the USSR or anything.
 
Successful Kiev Offensive, Ukraine saved by Polish forces.

The Polish forces were overextended. But even if they could hold their line, it would at most mean an "independent" (but really Poland-dependent) Ukraine west of the Dnieper and a rump Ukrainian SSSR to the east. To have a united and independent Ukraine, you would need a total Bolshevik collapse. (And even then Ukrainians would grumble Ukraine wasn't really united because the Poles would not allow Ukraine--even a client Ukraine--to have, for example, eastern Galicia.)
