Incorrect days of the week in ru_UA locale

[Mikhail Gribanov]

Actually, correct is "Чт, 3 окт 2019, 00:00:23 CEST". Android uses a
similar datetime format string.

In any case, I appeal to everyone. The discussion escalated from a
discussion of one small bug in discussions with which letters to use.
It is not so important for me. Big letters, small - no difference.
Ordinary users can fix it on their side. Date formatting in Linux is a
complete mess (at least in RU/UA locales), so manual intervention is
always required.

Please fix the translation bug first. I even offered you a solution:
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25044
Copy abday values from ru_RU to ru_UA. That’s all I want. Uppercase or
lowercase discussion does not apply to this bug in any way.

Thank you for understanding.
