I looked at a calendar and realized

[conuly]

this is a weirdo year in which (Western) Easter is early and Passover (and, perforce, Orthodox Easter) is late.

Actually I'm not entirely sure which Orthodox churches have determined that Easter must fall after Passover. Is it all of them? Or only some of them? Well, whichever ones they are, they're having their Easter in May!

I bet Ukrainian Orthodox churches celebrate it on the Gregorian calendar now, after that announcement they were switching the date of Christmas off Russian Orthodox rules

No, the Orthodox Church of Ukraine switched in 2023 to the Revised Julian Calendar, which is the "new calendar" used by most Orthodox Churches that essentially leaves Pascha (and all feasts calculated relative to Pascha) on the Julian date but puts Christmas and other fixed feasts on dates that match the Gregorian calendar.
