In English I would just say, "Ukrainian." The word "language" is implied. Can you say "Українська" without the word "мова" and still have it mean the Ukrainian language?
And if the translation has to be exact, then I would put a "the" in front of it unless it was describing something else, like "Ukrainian language lessons." Then you wouldn't have a "the."

Yes, we do just the same: use the feminine version of the adjective to mean language. But the usage is more colloquial than in English
