[Yuzhnoye President and CTO] Degtyarev says the core-stage engine, in development for Ukraine’s new Mayak family of liquid-fueled launchers, could also replace the Russian RD-180 that currently powers the United Launch Alliance (ULA) Atlas 5.

“The engine that we are developing for ourselves fits perfectly into American projects such as the Atlas 5, where they use the RD-180,” he said.

So suppose ULA goes with this. A few months later Uncle Vladimir gets up on the wrong side and decides he wants all of Ukraine.

Back to square-one.

Yeah it's a non-starter, and if these mystery engines are license produced Russian designs as many suspect, it fails the letter of the law as well as the spirit.

I believe they have been offering their RD-801 and RD-810 project to everybody. They wanted to do liquid boosters for Ariane 5, for example, using 4 x RD-801. It is an ORSC RP-1/LOX engine based on the RD-120 technology, but they would have developed it all themselves. There's little to add besides the fact that the company is in absolute distress and totally incapable of getting any significant advance without some serious cash infusion.
