Ukraine should build some protections into their cell network. Like if the signal is coming from a high altitude and doesn’t follow any known commercial flight path (if commercial flights are even flying in that area), or if it exceeds a certain speed that varies, and isn’t on a Ukraine military whitelist, then interrupt the signal just enough to make it ineffective for combat.
It’s physically possible, though depends on if the receivers care about the vertical signal direction (for determining up) and if two towers can see it at the same time (for determining how high up, if signal quality alone isn’t enough to estimate it, though with these custom devices, it’s probably not reliable to go by signal strength). I don’t know if any go to that length, inside Ukraine or outside.

I dont think you can determine altitude solely from a cell signal

Just need 3 recievers on the ground, time synced oc, and you can find 3D position of the transmitter.
