The Ukrainian Centre for Economic and Political Studies has some interesting information. I found a link to their website from the Wikipedia listing. The only poll I could find regarding attitudes toward religion in Ukraine related to the question “Do you trust the church?” 64.5% answered that they fully trust or rather trust the church. 24.9% answered that they mistrust the church.
I could not find the statistics you describe that supposedly prove that Russia is a land of supremely devout churchgoers.

I never said that. In fact, I was quite careful not to overstate the case, by pointing out it was by self-identification and in no way means they are “good Christians.” But the salient take-away is that at least the majority of Russians identify as Christians, whereas the vast majority of Ukrainians do not.
Here’s a link to the Ukrainian poll. Chrome should translate it for you, if need be:
