Ah, got it.
So certainly there's a depth of aerospace design and manufacturing in the Ukraine, and its certainly worth contemplating what happens to that expertise in a future where the Ukraine allies with western nations.
From a US perspective however, its kind of a non-starter (hence my "don't see any risk/conflict" comment...which in hindsight may have been better articulated as "don't see any opportunity"...) The root issue is that any kind of relationship is going to be too volatile and well out of bounds relative to national security. For obvious reasons, the DOJ tightly controls certain elements of US rocket technology....more than most of the other stuff we come up with, including a lot of other defense technologies, and even when it comes to friendly/western countries. That's even before you consider Vlad losing this round and still maintaining power--no way that plays out without a round 2 in the Ukraine.
From a SpaceX perspective, that kind of partnership is just not their MO. They're highly verticalized and work at an unprecedented pace. Leveraging the legacy industry base in the Ukraine (just as anywhere else) would go against both of those concepts. There's a logistical element in play as well--most Russian/Ukrainian space hardware is sent via rail out to the various launch facilities in Russia/Kazakhstan, with some stuff being flown in. In a hypothetical spaceX+Ukraine relationship, hardware would have to be transported quite a ways away--certainly to the US for the foreseeable future, but even in the fantasy world where Starship is used for PTP, any of those PTP ports will likely be a long way from the Ukraine.
