It seems a bit of a weird political move for Ukraine to draw attention to dubious post Second World War territorial annexations, a large amount of the territory of the country was acquired after what was basically a war of aggression against Poland - that's just ignoring the stuff acquired from Axis members or co-belligerents.

I know it was all rubber stamped after the war, and modern European countries are very unlikely to push it any way, but given how the communist regimes are viewed now I don't know how much people would accept that.

Again, I don't think it'll cause any problems, but right now I would be avoiding anything at all controversial given that support for them might wane over winter if things get bad in Europe.

I don't know how cold Europe will get this winter, but I suspect it won't be "reverse territorial losses by the Axis powers" cold. I think in this case you should probably just enjoy (or choose not to enjoy!) Ukraine's joke.
