“Soon, there may be no one left even to use the weapons they give us,” said the volunteer, Yevhen Tuzov, “because all our Western partners want is for us to fight until the last Ukrainian.” (www.nytimes.com)

Also possible that Russia would let Poland absorb it and make it their problem.

I highly doubt that Russia would be ok with a NATO nation taking over west ukraine. It would only happen if NATO nations forced it to be so.

I imagine it would depend how much of west Ukraine we're talking about. It would do immense economic damage to Poland and likely create a lot of internal tensions. So, it would be destabilizing in the long run.

giving it to poland is basically giving the US free reign to fill it with military bases tho

That's true, but if it's just territory around Lvov, then it might not make much of a difference strategically. I do agree that Russia would likely prefer to just keep it as an independent demilitarized state instead though.
