Sources on the 1649 Zboriv agreement (ratified by the Diet in January 1650) state that the Orthodox metropolitan of Kyiv was to be granted a seat in the Polish Senate, which matches the claim's core.
What was said
… So, of course, like Ukraine, one was to include the areas of Kiev, Chernigov, and Bratslav in areas under the Cossack control. Only Orthodox people could hold office. The unions were dissolved and its property granted to the Orthodox Church. The Metropolitan of the Orthodox Church in Ukraine had a guaranteed seat in the Polish Senate.

Supports. The Encyclopedia of Ukraine entry on the Treaty of Zboriv (signed 18 August 1649) states the Orthodox metropolitan of Kyiv was to be granted a seat in the Polish Senate, and that the Diet ratified the treaty in January 1650.[1]
Supports. Alchetron's Treaty of Zboriv entry says the treaty's provisions included admission to the Senate of the Orthodox metropolitan of Kiev, and that the Diet ratified it between November 1649 and January 1650.[2]
Context. Mironowicz's account of the later 1658 Treaty of Hadiach also lists access of Orthodox bishops to the Senate, showing this was a recurring demand in the same negotiations.[3]
Context. The Encyclopedia of Ukraine states Poland never complied with the Zboriv Treaty, consistent with the claimant's remark that the demands had Polish signatures but were not made real.[1]
