It was delivered by a Dubai registered Antonov AN-124 aircraft...
Dubai registered? Last time I checked, a 'UR-' prefix still denoted a Ukraine registered aircraft!

I reckon that's politically correct spin so as not to upset Putin or to keep the conspiracy theorists at bay over "foreign powers being involved in our defence capabilities" Why else make such a big play over where an aircraft is registered?
