Thanks for the report. The problem seems to be partially fixed in the latest 
development versions. I added it to our bug database, see below.

As a workaround, you can use the following:
 \header{
    title = \markup { Українська Hi There! пісна }
 }

\header {
texidoc = "Sometimes spaces disappear when utf8 characters are mixed with 
ASCII in a single string.

Workaround: Use @code{\\markup} to separate words in sentences."
reportedin = "2.7.14"
}
\version "2.7.14"
\layout{raggedright=##t}
