Do you deny that the Ukrainian Catholic is in full communion with the Pope?

Could you show where I ever said they weren’t?

Sure:

    648 It is obvious that there was and is a schism.
The two churches can't be in full communion and in schism at the same time.
    Schism (from the Greek schisma, rent, division) is, in the language of theology and canon law, the rupture of ecclesiastical union and unity.

Well, how about we go to the Orthodox Christian information center and see what they are saying.

Here’s a quote.

We see, then, the basic and fundamental difference between Roman Catholic and Orthodox traditionalists. Traditionalist groups in the Roman Catholic Church are obliged to violate the ultimate authority in their Church to be where they are. We Orthodox traditionalists, however, must heed the ultimate authority in the Church to be where we are. And herein lies one of the most important differences between the Latin and Orthodox Churches in general: the Latin Church’s appeal to the authority of the Roman See and the Orthodox Church’s dependence on the authority of the wholeness of ecclesiastical tradition, the very Body of the Church.

Not a copasetic as you are trying to portray it seems.
