If Northern Ireland become sovereign state, I think there will be some small UK (Gibraltar)-Spain border. Not sure if it counts, though.

Western Sahara is on the UN list of Non-self-governing territories.

Wales is not like Scotland, seeking independence?

Dagestan is a geographical entity, clearly marked on maps. Yes, Russia will resist any independence attempts. Kurdistan is more a state of mind with possible land in Iraq, Turkey and elsewhere.
