Is it true that the Catholic Church states that you should go to church at least once a year and that is a Easter or there about?

The doctrine is that one should go to Mass weekly, the Precepts of the Church state that you must receive Holy Communion at least once a year, and that around Easter time, and that you must go to confession, again, at least once a year, and that around Lent. This laws were put into effect many centuries ago as people were neglecting one or both of the sacraments, they are in no way a norm. One must attend Mass every Sunday and Holy Day, and, really, you should go to Holy Communion whenever you attend Mass IF you are in a state of grace (have been to confession recently) and IF you are prepared to receive Holy Communion. If you are not in a state of grace and haven't been to confession recently or if you are not prepared, then you shouldn't receive Holy Communion at that Mass.

Can a Roman Catholic woman and a Roman Catholic man receive the sacrament of matrimony in a Ukrainian Catholic church?
I'm not familiar with the standing of a Ukrainian Catholic Church in relationship to the Roman Catholic Church. The Eastern Orthodox Church, which it may be, is currently in a 'schism' with the Church in Rome. This word, schism, is important. Any such church simply means that the Roman Catholic Church does not consider them preaching the same set of truths. When a Roman Catholic individual marries, they have a moral obligation to be married in the Catholic church. Thus, they should be married by a Roman Catholic priest who is in union with the Church. However, as you might have heard, exceptions can be granted. The best advice is really one that your pastor will answer. I urge you to pay him a visit and discuss this important topic. God bless you!
