On June 15, 1994, the Government of Ukraine approved the composition of the Ukrainian National Commission on Orthography under the Cabinet of Ministers. [6] The initial goal was to prepare a new version of the spelling in 2 + 1 ⁄ 2 years (until the end of 1996), but the work on preparing the updated rules was significantly delayed.
Ukrainian orthography is based on the phonemic principle, with one letter generally corresponding to one phoneme. The orthography also has cases in which semantic, historical, and morphological principles are applied. In the Ukrainian alphabet the "Ь" could also be the last letter in the alphabet (this was its official position from 1932 to 1990).

if V is the Common Slavic *e, then the vowel in Ukrainian mutated to /a/, e.g., Common Slavic *žitĭje became Ukrainian /ʒɪˈtʲːa/ (життя́) if V is Common Slavic *ĭ, then the combination became /ɛj/, e.g., genitive plural in Common Slavic *myšĭjĭ became Ukrainian /mɪˈʃɛj/ (мише́й)
My understanding of Ukrainian (being Ukrainian) has always been pronounced as a latin-v. Learning the alphabet/grammar it's always been "a, be, ve...vin, vona, etc" and so on. Literally all transliteration systems, including scholarly, use V (the exception being german, which uses W, but germans pronounce W as V so that obviously makes sense).
