The Ukrainian Soviet Socialist republic did produce animated films,  
many of them in Ukrainian.
Independent Ukraine is also releasing Ukrainian-language material.  
Even the Ukrainian Helsinki
Group is turning to animated films  to educate the very young about  
human rights.  Se their artcle on
the film *Dytiachyi advokat*:

The following site lists some items from the 1970s, along with films  
produced in independent Ukraine,
identifying the language of each film:

For an interview with Volodymyr Dakhno, the author of numerous  
animated films devoted to *Kozaky*,
which were released between 1968 and 1979, and to other topics, visit:

A good resource, which might lead you to articles about animated films  
is the journal KINOKOLO
http://www.kinokolo.ua/
Its Forum section will connect you with people who study / know about  
material for children.

If you google (in Ukrainian) *ukrajins'ki mul'typlikacijni fil'my* and  
*mul'typlikacijni fil'my dlja ditej*,
as well as *animacijni fil'my...*  you will find much information.

Regards,
Natalia
