Meanwhile Russia is famously more corrupt than Ukraine, has been since long before Maidan

That's a lie.

2020-2023 - Russia is more corrupt

2012-2019 - more or less the same, sometimes Russia wins sometimes Ukraine

1995-2012 - Ukraine is more corrupt

attempted to pervert Ukraine’s elections to install a corrupt leader under their control

Are you talking about 2010 elections?

After the second round of the election international observers and the OSCE called the election transparent and honest

You're either lying again, or using the typical western-liberal "it's only democracy if our candidate winds" (or, well, both).

Nice disinformation bro

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.

What point are you trying to make here?

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.
