Your keys type the Ukrainian letter in the same place: S gives і, ] gives ї, ' gives є, \ gives ґ and the key left of 1 gives the apostrophe.
About the Ukrainian keyboard
Ukrainian is written in Cyrillic, with 33 letters. Four of them are not in Russian: ґ, є, і, ї. Ukrainian also uses the apostrophe inside words like м'ясо and п'ять.
Click the letters on screen, or type on your normal keyboard: each key gives the Ukrainian letter in the same place on a Ukrainian keyboard. Then copy the text, search it or translate it.

The Ukrainian letters that are not in Russian
| Letter | Sound | Example | Key here |
|---|---|---|---|
| ґ Ґ | g as in "go" | ґудзик (button) | \ (right of ї) |
| є Є | ye as in "yes" | Європа (Europe) | ' (right of ж) |
| і І | ee as in "see" | місто (city) | S |
| ї Ї | yee | Україна (Ukraine) | ] (right of х) |
| ' | apostrophe | м'ясо (meat) | the key left of 1 |
And the other way round: Ukrainian does not use ё, ъ, ы, э. Their places on a Russian keyboard hold the apostrophe, ї, і and є here.
