An independent Ukraine after an Allied victory WW2
I have a great deal of respect for independent Ukraine, and would like to look at possibilities of their resuming their independence at the end of World War 2, in the context of an Allied victory
I guess this can be approached from several different possible directions
-1- Nazis are less annihilastic on Slavic minorities and ally with Skoropadsky (who was in Berlin) and a puppet Ukraine, which could then later change sides and maintain its independence
-2- USSR collapses (fall of Moscow, death of Stalin etc) and separate republics fight their own guerilla wars, achieve their own victories on their own merits, and drive the Nazis out to demand their own places at the peace conference
-3- Variation on -1- where the Nazis pursue OTL policies but the determined fighting and last-ditch defending of 1944 succeeds, and the Ukrainian elements in the Wehrmacht and SS prove their worth. With a later collapse of the Reich, there is a significant Ukrainian element which is able to achieve independence and switch sides, and have the Allies ignore its earlier past/allegiances (*which they could do when they wanted to)
- - -
What does post-WW2 Eurasia look like ?
All 3 more or less assume Stalin either dies, fails in his defence or hangs on by the skin of his teeth and achieves a strictly limited victory
One can assume, I think, in any of the 3 scenarios, that all of Germany is under the W Allies.
What would the other changes be ?
