Bigger Congress Poland?

Could Napoleon had added all West Galicia to the Hungarian border to Duchy of Warsaw? And as a gesture of friendship to Russia give it East Galicia with Lvov? Even if Russia still takes Poland, at least you would have a united Poland in the Russian Empire, rather than a partitioned one. This would mean Russia gets all the Duchy of Warsaw.

Such a scenario could have large effects on the development of Ukrainian nationalism in the 19th century and beyond. After all, in this TL, there wouldn't be a safe place (Galicia) for Ukrainian nationalism to thrive and flourish; rather, all Ukrainians will live under the Ukrainophobic Russian Tsars in this TL.
