Deliberately opaque: the armed forces determine the serial's information content themselves, no region is encoded, and the letter may come from anywhere in the Ukrainian alphabet — the black plate is the one Ukrainian serial with no public decode.

## About the format

Додаток 2 Таблиця 4 gives type 9 five digits and one letter. The arrangement, four digits of running number, then a letter-plus-digit series, is not stated in the Вимоги; it is the Ukrainian Wikipedia article's description and is tagged as such in sources.
