alt Hacker NewsEverybody is aware the Ukraine has major corruption issues. It is frequently covered in the media and is common knowledge.
I have no doubt however that Europe (and hopefully the wider world) is less worried about that corruption than they are about Russian military aggression. And there will be some level of media focus on that – rightly so, where the focus should be on grinding the Russian kleptostate into dust as quickly and thoroughly as possible.
You're not a propaganda bot; you're just making their lives easier.

If you're happy with your tax euros disappearing in Ukraine, good for you.
I know for a fact via family ties that major newsrooms in Germany received instructions to tune out the corruption angle once the war started. I'm sure it's all nothing though and that Putin will find himself in Poland next year. Of course!
Where does the corruption come from?
It comes from an old culture that Ukraine is trying to remove themselves from, hence the large amount of corruption charges we see.
The same culture is incidentally what makes Russia one of the most corrupt countries in the world.
