I think you'd have a valid chargeback case.

The wrong card currency was identified, which should mean that you always are entitled to a correction of the currency to UAH if you used DCC. Also, it's not permitted to use fees or discounts to convince you to use DCC, so the fee should have been returned to you if you didn't use DCC.
