    Ukraine was famously corrupt before this war, before the Maidan coup, and before the Yanukovych administration.

    And now that the war is failing, and the hunt is on for scapegoats, corruption allegations will fly.

      Ukraine is actively trying to battle their corruption, with this being a step towards that end, however small.

      Meanwhile Russia is famously more corrupt than Ukraine, has been since long before Maidan, attempted to pervert Ukraine’s elections to install a corrupt leader under their control, and then invaded in an attempt to expropriate Ukrainian land and resources when that attempt failed.
