Antonov was made in Ukraine too. The biggest cargo airplane ever built was the Antonov 225. That plane was absolutely insane, and could carry diesel locomotives and whatnot.

Antonov is still an operational Ukrainian company and they operate a number of 124s. It’s a real shame about the 225 though. Maybe it can come back with the spare airframe but seems like a slim chance.
