Official transliteration rules for Ukrainian defines, among others,
\cyrii -> i
\cyri  -> y
\cyryi -> yi

This is based on how letters are pronounced in Ukrainian language.

If you make your system for Ukrainian incompatible with Russian anyway,
why not to use i for \cyrii and y for \cyri ?
Also, for \cyryi "i would look more natural.
