I think that a mutiny where the division joins other Ukranian separatists is more likely. Defecting to NATO makes it sound like the division is actually following NATO directives. With a common enemy in the Soviet Union, this would put the mutinous division on the same side as NATO due to the prinicple, the "enemy of my enemy is my friend". With this in mind, Ukranian separatists and NATO soldiers may have some of the same broad strategic aims. This would give NATO ex-POWs and the Ukranian defectors reason to work together on some ops. At the same time, there could be some tension between the two because their objectives may not always line up. I hope I'm making sense.
