Ukraine today has three different Orthodox Churches: two of which are bound to a Patriarchate (Moscow and Kiev/Kyiv) and the other is an Autocephalous Church. At the same time, it has the Greek Catholic Church, which arose from the Union of Brest, but today the Ukrainian Greek Catholics only make up 14% of Ukraine's population that belong to that church.
So with a PoD around the Union of Brest, is it possible that OTL Ukraine (and to a lesser extent, Byelorussia) have a Greek Catholic majority of the population? Realistically, around 45% of the population that are Uniates while the Orthodox population would be smaller. I'm not sure if a stronger Jesuit presence in Ukraine would help, or a much bigger incentive for the Ruthenian nobility to convert (seeing as Uniates have been persecuted for a while).
