Reply to comment by TjW0569 in Ukraine's deputy defense minister resigns amid corruption allegations by joshemerson

True, but the corruption and neo nazi problem have been completely swept under the rug since last year in the media and that is definitely going to lead to longer term problems. Those elements are now completely aware that the vast majority of people in the west are willing to overlook those problems because of what is happening right now and that makes me extremely nervous about what could unfold in the future.

I don't see that at all. The diplomatic corps of the Western countries giving aid have been holding them to continuous progress on eliminating the corruption. If anything, the war gives them more incentive to remove corrupt officials. Losing Western support loses them the war, of course, but so does not removing corruption.
