Nothing about UA0 changes.  Asiatic Russia includes prefixes beginning
with UA8, UA9 and UA0.  The only change is that *some* of the UA9
prefixes are now considered (for DXCC purposes) to be European Russia
(UA) instead of Asiatic Russia (UA9, which is the primary prefix for
this DXCC entity).  The DXCC list does not change.

UB0A is same as UA0A, which is the Krasnoyarsky region, and in CQ Zone
18 as you found.
