BTW, I know the LH portion would require a separate paper SWU, but I wouldn't use 2 SWU's for this. The KBP-FRA is so short it's not even worth wasting a SWU on. Additionally, I hear LH has a new rule that if you are getting sponsored, the owner of the SWU must be present at the airport to sign off on it now.
Azurik! what up dude! the LH SWU paper usage requiring in-person sponsorship is ONLY true for US-departures. LH SWUs are still usable from non-N.A. departure points no problems (tried it out last month from FRA).

but yeah, beware of the BOS LH matron/hawks who wont let you use it without physical sponsorship. Though I havent tested the post-security lounge and GAs whether it'll work there (since physical sponsorship impossible post security).
