Can the employer not pay for sick leave?

Downtime not due to the employee's fault is paid at a rate not lower than two-thirds of the tariff rate of the employee's grade (salary).

That is, the employer does not have the right to pay employees less than two-thirds of the tariff rate for the period of downtime. At the same time, the legislation of Ukraine does not set a limit on the possibility of payment in a larger amount. Collective agreements and contracts may establish larger amounts of payments, but often such norms are of a recommendatory nature for the employer.
