Hi!
While I'm not sure about ban for moving images from Ukrainian
Wikipedia, closer admin review is good idea. I remember PD-UA-exempt
abuses, but they also came from English Wikipedia (uploaded mostly by
Ukrainian speaking users).
Introducing some copyrights education/control in Ukrainian Wikipedia
is also good idea. For example Russian Wikipedia have same problems
until end of 2005 (if I'm not mistaken, Boleslav1 raise the issue) and
situation was dramatically improved there.

While I understand the merits of this proposal in
theory, I am unsure
as to how it could be implemented in practice. For instance, how
would you propose this "admin review" take place - if what you're
saying is true (and I don't have reason to doubt it, though I haven't
looked into the circumstances myself), there could be issues with
tagging for review, and subsequently transferring and deleting local
copies.
I would be interested to see a more developed proposal.

I propose forbid uploading images from Ukrainian
Wikipedia, because uk-wp
admins abuse copyright. Some of them uploads non-free images with free
licence. Other ones use fairuses in templates and userpages. And you may
upload ANY image and put license {{Fairuse in}} and image will stay on
Wikipedia during months.
Last week some sysop (Turzh) uploaded many images with license CC-BY-SA from
the site sobory.ru , but author allows only non-commercial usage (see OTRS
ticket#2008070810020169<https://secure.wikimedia.org/otrs/index.pl?Actio…)p;QueueID=144>).
I ask that sysop to delete these images because such permission is
unappropriate but he continued upload images. Today I ask him again to
delete it (because images with free license maybe uploaded by any user to
Commons; and I as Commons' sysop care about purity of project), but he said
that he not uploaded it in Commons, it is uk-wiki, and he does what he want.
Then I put templates {{db}} to some images but he blocked me for 24 hours.
That's why I suggest to forbid uploading images from uk-wiki (firstly via
CommonsHelper and then with another ways) without admin review.
