I'm not sure whether anyone has done a faunistic study of Ukrainian ephydrids, but neighbouring countries (Poland, Slovakia, Hungary and Romania) have
Ephydra glauca, macellaria, murina, riparia and
scholtzi (as well as
Setacera aurata, breviventris, micans and
trina). Perhaps Tadek or Cranefly can help further.
E.murina and
riparia have occurred in large numbers in Crimea. (See Przhiboro and Shadrin, 2012 Mass occurrence of flies of the genus Ephydra (Diptera: Ephydridae) at the coastline zone of hypersaline coastal lagoons in the Eastern Crimea)
