Not the root zone servers, but instead the actual .com .net .org registry
database.

ICANN accredited registrars are given direct query access via the RRP to
the registry database. As an RSP of an ICANN accredited registrar we have
indirect access to the registry for availability lookups (we send a
request to opensrs and opensrs forwards the request to the registry).

You would need to contact the administrator of the .ua domain to see if
they have similar functionality.
