Has the problem of convincing the Ukrainians to work on the rocket been resolved yet? I looked at NK and it seems to be still a problem as of a week or two ago.

I guess that the satellite delivery implies that all the other issues are solved...
But this is only speculation.

I was under the understanding that Russian crews were capable stating with this campaign of perform if needed all tasks of Ukrainian crews. extra personnel that worked with Sea Launch was brought in to proceed the processing.

Last Zenit?
There are two more Zenits in the manifest: The Lybid launch, where the Zenit rocket is not complete and which is generally somewhat questionable now, and the Spektr-RG launch, which has already a complete Zenit delivered.
But the Spektr-RG is reportedly overwight and might switch to Proton and Lybid might not launch at all, so there is a certain chance, that this is indeed the last Zenit launch

Final time world's most powerful rocket engine will come to life.
This bittersweet ending is tempered by the knowledge that the engine's children (RD-180/181, 190/191, etc) will live on for years to come.

This should also be the last flight of Fregat-SB, unless some Angara variant is going to use Fregat.

Danderman it's too bad we didn't spring for some airline tickets to see this launch (if that was possible).

No. Soyuz-2 will be used for Moon probes.
