Because you need to use a valid locale name to reference a locale. And 
that locale name in this case is uk_UA.UTF-8 (or the alias uk_UA.utf8).

Your question sounds a little like "why do I have to use 'ls' to list 
the contents of a directory, while 'listdir' does not work?". :)

Actually "uk_UA" does work in a sense, i.e. if you generate the uk_UA 
locale. But that locale enables KOI8-U encoding (for historical reasons) 
and is most likely not what you want.
