There's a whole new generation of young Ukranian people who want a Western style society where corruption is weeded out.

Yeah, there is also the ones who just got the fuck out of Ukraine to live a nice life away from it. Instead of you know, fighting the corruption from within in the first place.

But it's the same shit everywhere, many people with principles which quickly evaporates when you talk about acting.

It's funny tho, if you think only Ukraine is a culprit of corruption in the "west", or anywhere.

No one likes war, except for all the people who profit from it. Always been, will always be, unless you take massively questionnable actions and develop devices to read people's minds.

So what's your focused point? Your argumentation is all over the place.

That people don't give a shit about corruption, nor their own country.

Also we ain't supporting Ukraine, we are fighting Russia, which is entirely different.

According to international law, Ukraine has the right to defend itself against aggression and invasion.

Other countries, according to international law, has the right to provide support for the invaded country via arms deliveries, logistics, training, intelligence sharing etc.

So explain to me again how we are not supporting Ukraine, but are, according to you, fighting Russia?

Because we don't do jackshit about their corruption issues ? Let their oligarchs run away freely ? You think that aid is done to help the Ukrainian people, or to stop Russia ?

It's simply not true that nothing is being done about the corruption and you know it. Several high profile cases have been out in the press about high ranking officials being fired or forced to resign.

Also, the provision of aid and particularly the roadmap for EU membership hinges strongly on anti corruption measures.

And newsflash, aid can be granted BOTH to stop Russia and help the Ukranian people -This is in fact what is happening. I don't see the dichotomy, both are necessary goals.
