uk_UA seems to be more reliable than ru_UA. The last one uses russian
language with ukrainian currency, while most of ukrainians use uk_UA for
ukrainian language i18n or ru_RU for russian. And, of course, some of
us, who speak in C language, prefer POSIX locale ;)
And note that .KOI8-U is preffered over UTF-8. UTF-8 still have problems
with curses-based software.
If you plan to use only grafical environment, then UTF-8 will work ok.
