    You missed the fact that when the Ukrainian layout is active, Right Alt is dedicated by default to serve as the key to access 3:rd and 4:th level symbols. So since Right Alt conflicts with that other function, it's not a good choice as the shortcut to switch layout.

    My primary advice would be to simply choose some other shortcut for layout switching.
