Every single final E in Russian (Ukrainian, German) is pronounced (every vowel anywhere, in fact).
Hoo-lyay-POH-leh (Hulyaipole), STROO-veh, VIT-teh, PLEH-veh, Tch-khe-EE-dzeh (Chkheidze).
Only the Anglo-French imperialists stuff their words full of letters they never intend to pronounce.

Mike, Ukrainian "батько" (bat'ko) simply means "father." There is no allusion to "small" at all.
