Yes, Tatra-Yug is a Ukrainian spin off from the former ČKD Tatra company.
The history is here:

This tram is modular - can be two sections or three. The three section
version is the same design platform as the Melbourne E.

Two section versions from these European manufacturers are for smaller
European cities (populations in the low to mid 100s of 1000s) that have
existing tramways where very high capacity is not required. They are
basically an articulated bus on rails. You'd normally buy a bus, except
that the rails are already there so you might as well use them. They're not
what you want in Melbourne where you need minimum size 30 metre trams
running at closer headways. If there are lower patronage routes in
Melbourne now, they won't be lower patronage in 10, 20, 30 years time.
