Looks good to me.
Three points:

- The copyright and docstring in parsers/rst/languages/uk.py needs
  updating.

- The encoding declaration and the "u" string prefixes are no longer
  required.

- 'list-table' is a table with the source in form of a nested unordered list.
  The translation should use whatever is common in Ukrainean for such
  lists (Polish uses 'tabela-listowa').

I recommend using transliterations instead of Latin in 'meta',
'тестова-директива-restructuredtext', 'unicode', and maybe a translated
abbreviation (or abbreviated translation) in 'csv-таблиця' for
practical reasons: It removes the need to switch the keyboard language
when typing the rST source.
The English directive and role names are valid alternatives in
non-English documents.

It is now a week since the release and I am not aware of any bug reports.
So this non-invasive, backwards-compatible change should be OK.

It would be nice, if you could discuss the required/suggested changes with
the OP and reformat. (We also need a HISTORY entry.)


Thank you
