What are engagement customs in Ukraine?

[FSUrookie]

Hello to all. Ok, here's a basic question, and I have received different answers from friends in Ukraine, so I would like to know the experiences of the guys on here and ladies from Ukraine.
My Question;
Upon asking your special Ukrainian woman for her hand in marriage and becoming engaged, what is customary at that point? Any gifts? A ring? Her parents permission first? I know here in America and parts of western Europe an engagement ring is the standard, but a ring is not the standard in Ukraine. So what is customary in Ukraine? Thanks in advance for any input on this topic.....
