UK for Ukraine is wrong! 

GB is the ISO country code for the United Kingdom of Great Britain and
Northern Ireland.  UK is exceptionally reserved as an ISO country code
at the request of the UK.  See

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2#GB

Perversely, it is the other way round for TLDs.  See 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.gb

Ukraine's country code is UA, and TLD is .ua - Sensible people!
