Almost... but not quite.  If the script is called R-ukr, I don't think
it will be picked up by ESS;

ess-r-versions's value is 
("R-1" "R-2" "R-devel" "R-patched")

so, either do:

1. call the script R-2-ukr and then it should be found.

2. set ess-r-version before ess is loaded:

(setq ess-r-versions '("R-1" "R-2" "R-devel" "R-patched" "R-uk"))

See doc string of ess-r-versions for more details.
