One of the effects of the invasion was that the Antares rocket stopped being viable.

Antares used a pair of Russian RD-181 engines. The first stage was built in Ukraine (Dnipro). This sort of cooperation is basically dead.

I've been wondering, with the rocket science knowledge the Ukraine has, are they not capable of designing and building mid-rage missiles for their military, or is that just a much longer process?

The Hrim-2 missile (hrim/hrom/grom is Slavic for thunder) may be precisely that.

Ukrainian missile "Neptune" hit Russian "Moscow" flagship, so they are capable, but drones are much much cheaper.
