As of Tuesday 15 February, Flightaware still shows a few Ukraine International flights operating this day. Such as AUI776 and AUI778 between Kiev KBP and Tel Aviv TLV. Flightaware lists the equipment as Boeing 737 for those flights.

Possibly Ukraine International's widebody aircraft (and others) have been ferried out-of-country due to concerns of the lessors.

Some of UIA's aircraft are owned by company, some are leased. I guess leased ones flew to Spain, owned ones remain in operation.
