1. No, in this case Russian name should be in name:ru only. Since the official language is Ukrainian this should be used. 2. The area should not be limited by sq km but by independent administrative body (country or its autonomous part). If there is official language, this should be used, if there is not one the most common should be it.
Generally only name:language keys should be used in my opinion. It does not cause editing wars - this issue is moved to rendering, which is far easier to control. Even in undisputed areas there is added information about the language...
