It's worth noting that the Ukrainian anti-corruption agencies are now prosecuting the culprits, even though they were powerful people. This shows the system is working.
I'm more optimistic about Ukraine eradicating its corruption than the U.S. tbh

This is a typical false narrative that the Kremlin spreads, that the West hates Russia. It's nonsense. What the West hates is that Russia is *invading its sovereign neighbors*. But this gets falsely portrayed as "Russophobia" by the Kremlin, because they think they have the right to do that.
