I mean u is a vowel, right?

^If you wrote it out phonetically, as it sounds, it would be: A yewkranian woman. Therefore "a" is correct since "y" is not a vowel.

Ok, cheers. English isn't my first language, and I don't hear words "with an english ear" I guess :)Your explanation makes sense though.
