Ukraine and Nova Scotia to partner in spaceport deal
The new colonial movement: The Ukraine has agreed to be a partner in the building of a new spaceport in Nova Scotia.
It appears a Canadian company, Maritime Launch Services (MLS) has raised $10.5 million in investment capital to develop both the spaceport and a rocket it dubs Cyclone-4M. That company has also been negotiating with the Ukraine to buy engines from its two rocket engine manufacturers, Yuzhnoye and Yuzhmash, for that rocket. As part of the negotiations, the Ukrainian government has agreed to provide funding to these two companies.
Both sides will hold further meetings in Canada on this partnership in November, including top Ukrainian government officials, Deputy Prime Minister Oleg Uruskyi, State Space Agency of Ukraine Administrator Vladimir Taftai, and Foreign Affairs Minister Dmytro Kuleba.

This is a good model for countries that are part of the Artemis Accords to pool their resources and work on joint projects.
Here are the 12 countries that are part of the Accords, and I listed them in order from high to low in regards to their present Space Tech capabilities based from what I’ve read here on BtB. Let me know if you would rank differently.
* United States
* Japan
* Republic of Korea
* United Kingdom
* Italy
* Canada
* Ukraine
* New Zealand
* Australia
* UAE
* Brazil
* Luxembourg
Hopefully we’ll see India joining this year also.
