I was trying to check if this is happening also on OpenStreetMap, I searched for "фермерське господарство" which returned results in Ukraine, but I wasn't able to restrict them to a single city so I don't know if those are actual farms or not. Somebody who knows OpenStreetMap better could check this?

The OSM data model is pretty free form, checking for things marked in one particular way wouldn't really rule out the system being used for coordination.
Overpass Turbo [1] is the search for OSM data. One can search for partial key-value combinations. When searching for `name:фермерське` around Kyiv, I only find one instance: https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/1gBr

Generalising the search for `*=фермерське` does not yield much more (around Kyiv, for example): https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/1gBA

You can pan and zoom the map and repeat the search with the 'Run' button on the top left, but I often get a time-out when searching for regions spanning more than ~50 km.

Try [landuse~"farm"] (which will match several different types).
Sure, I specifically only included the Ukrainian name.
