Will my biometric passport still work if I don't have any data stored on the chip?

You might also find this question relevant as your case is not much different from a failed chip.

In my opinion you should have no issues, especially considering the French consulate confirmed it. The document you are being issued is indeed "biometric passport" (Ukraine doesn't issue any other type of passport for over a year now) and thus you satisfy the requirements.

Thinking about it, except very few people who bothered with NFC readers, nobody has any idea whether their passport chip contains any data. I have UA and US passports myself, and have no idea whether their chips contain anything, as I never bothered to check.
