Very good points.... Corruption existed, was discovered and punished (forced out). The "cast the first stone" quote comes to mind. Corruption exists in the west and with respect to those involved in the US 'military/industrial complex' who have not inappropriately enriched or empowered themselves, there is a lot of institutionalized/normalised corruption here too. With a lot less visible punishment.
I may have better stated that it provides ammo to those who say "it's still a corrupt sh*thole place," sorta like the "the place is still rotten with Nazis" narrative one hears from time to time from anti-UKR/pro-RUS folks.
