Hey!
Recently, I began to study the Ubuntu distribution. Q: Will learning Ubuntu automatically master Debian-like distributions? And Debian himself?

Depends on what you study and how.
If you study only the interface at the level of an advanced user, then it is not a fact that you will cope with the next version of Ubuntu. Especially if Canonical is once again disappointed in his own DE.
But to make friends with the console and master Linux administration - this is also possible on Ubuntu, the difference "under the hood" is not so great as to grab less desktop distributions without any knowledge.

Even more than that, you can switch to CentOS and other RPM-based distros without any problems.
Linux is the same everywhere.

A bigger problem will probably be in the differences in the system's toolkit.
you are accustomed to one instrument, and another similar instrument is installed on another wasp. and have to be trained.
at the same time, differences can even occur within the same distribution. in the same ubunt of network interface management systems, there are at least three pieces.
although the toolkit of all posix systems is fairly identical.
do you know how to use wget and don’t care what package it is installed from, deb, rpm, gent scripts, etc...
came to another computer and wget is simply not installed there, because the admin doesn’t like it and you have to understand curl

The entire Debian family is stack based deb-пакеты - dpkg - apt. Ubuntu has its own store on the desktop and Snap packages on top, the first is not available anywhere else, the second is not by default but can be in the repository.

Here, rather, it is not Ubuntu that is needed - it's just a distribution, one of many with its own desktop environments and a set of programs, but Brian Ward "Linux Internals". Kolesnichenko D. Had a series of books on both Ubuntu and Linux (From a beginner to a professional, it seems. I didn’t read it).
