In America, most people pronounce the U in Ukraine the same as the U in Unit.

If you're saying "Ookraynian" then An would be appropriate, but "An Yookraynian" sounds as wrong as "An Yoonit".

The word "ad" is totally irrelevant. No American English speaker has ever chosen between "a" and "an" by looking at the noun when there is a preceding adjective. Nobody would ever say "an blue umbrella".

According to rules, both a and an are correct to Ukrainian. It's not the same as unit. If you are following instincts, you will say an Ukrainian ad, because it's followed by ad.

Where are you from? Because that's 100% not the case in America.

I'm from EU. Anyway, bot are correct, like tomato and tomatoe.

Tomato or tomatoe, both are correct. The spelling variant "tomatoe" is a common misspelling, but it's technically incorrect. The correct spelling is "tomato." The "o" in "tomato" is long, which is why some may mistakenly add an extra "e" at the end.
