As far as I am concerned, the standard in Russia today is only to assign patronymics to people who have fathers with traditional Russian names. When I have been in Russia, for foreigners on visas and other official documents they will use your middle name (if you have one) in place of the patronymic and if you do not have a middle name, they will use nothing.

I could make up a patronymic for the name Thomas but it would simply be based on the patronymic standards and what "sounds correct" to me and, thus, would not be official or necessarily accurate.

I believe the same is the case for Ukraine as well.

Vladimir Vladimirovich, Lev Nikolaevich, Fedor Mikhailovich).
