With regards to the Polish announcement, we shall wait and see if it's just PR. If it works out, then it would still be another great missed opportunity. The UA needs a "NATO" division. With a NATO divisional staff. It needs officers at the division level, not yet another brigade. NATO can be so frustrating that eyes bleed from reading about their next great idea.
"Poland and Ukraine agreed to form a brigade from the 650,000 military-aged men that left Ukraine after Russia’s open invasion."
-> Poland’s foreign minister Radoslaw Sikorski mentioned that "several thousand" Ukrainians in Poland have registered to "join the draft." https://kyivindependent.com/poland-and-ukraine-to-form-a-military-unit-from-ukrainians-in-europe-will-it-be-effective/

Let's see first if there are enough people to fill a brigade first...
That's kind of a secondary issue. If NATO finally decided to train and arm a division, you can bring people from Ukraine if needed.
Thanks Don
