According to ISO 3166-1-alpha-2, the code for Ukraine is UA, not UK.  
Admittedly, the ISO code for United Kingdom is GB, however, with the 
IANA TLD code being UK, not GB, and the fact that UK isn't anything in 
the ISO code, there doesn't seem to be any ambiguity.

FWIW, I've never heard of a bridleway or a horseway before this 
discussion, although I notice my spellchecker is happy with bridleway, 
but not horseway. :-)  (Coming to you from en_CA)
