I recognize that they are priests , so thats probably why they can touch it, but is this anywhere else in the ukranian church? I also noticed no intiction
 
There is no intinction because the priests are receiving from the chalice at the altar (though part of that is edited from the video; you can see a priest approaching the chalice just at the cut).

These are bishops and priests as you noted so they take Him, not it, in their hands. Apparently there were no deacons, oddly enough. Deacons receive in the hand from a bishop or priest. Bishops and priests then drink directly from the cup as was seen in the video. If there is a deacon he drinks from the cup which the priests holds. The sanctified gifts are combined after the clergy commune, and then, as is seen in the video, the laity are fed Him in this combined form by a priest or possibly by a deacon.

I’ll add, that in a church with a proper iconostasis the laity do not see the clergy commune in the Byzantine Rite. The clergy commune behind the iconostasis with the curtain closed. At Pascha the Holy Doors are open and clergy communion is visible.

No. In most Byzantine Churches after the clergy commune all the remaining consecrated bread is placed in the chalice and is placed together with the consecrated wine directly into the communicant’s mouth with a small spoon. The Melkites practice intinction. The priest takes a piece of the consecrated bread, intincts in the consecrated wine, and by hand places Him in our mouth. Babies might receive only a tiny particle or few drops from the chalice.
