The winners will play either Wales or Austria for a place at the World Cup.
The Scottish FA has already been in talks with Uefa and Fifa, who will now consider the call from Ukraine.
"Football is inconsequential amid conflict," wrote Scottish FA president Rod Petrie in a message to his Ukrainian counterpart this week.
Petrie said he had written, "to send a message of support, friendship and unity".
The World Cup draw is scheduled to take place on 1 April, with the tournament starting on 21 November.
