Did you configure you apache to allow proying? It looks like your
apache on the first server simply doesn't allow proxying.
You need something like this in your apache:
(and the proxy module needs to be available, ofcoures)
ProxyRequests Off
<Proxy *>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Proxy>
If your requirements are simple there is no need to use a rewrite rule
for you proxying. Use for example:
ProxyPass /old http://ukrbcsr01/
ProxyPassReverse /old http://ukrbcsr01/
