As a former Ukrainian citizen, my citizenship was revoked automatically as soon as I received my British citizenship.
That’s not true. Ukraine does not revoke citizenship automatically.
You should request for renouncing of your Ukrainian citizenship in the Embassy of Ukraine in the UK.
If you did not request it, then you are treated as a citizen of Ukraine.
Keep in mind that the Brexit situation is still extremely unsettled as of today (March 23th 2019) and that a “hard Brexit” remains a possibility.
While both sides proclaim that there will be generous solutions for UK and EU27 citizens, you should expect that exceptions and special cases may disappear. A proper passport is a good idea.

- Can immigration officers call another country to determine whether a traveller is a citizen of theirs?
Don’t forget that you must return your BRP after naturalisation. It’s no longer valid and you must not use it.
For international travel you will need a valid travel document. Also please be aware that the UK typically wants UK nationals to use a UK passport when they enter the country.
