Obviously I can only be a Putin-loving propaganda bot for saying such things.

I have no doubt however that Europe (and hopefully the wider world) is less worried about that corruption than they are about Russian military aggression. And there will be some level of media focus on that – rightly so, where the focus should be on grinding the Russian kleptostate into dust as quickly and thoroughly as possible.
You're not a propaganda bot; you're just making their lives easier.
I know for a fact via family ties that major newsrooms in Germany received instructions to tune out the corruption angle once the war started. I'm sure it's all nothing though and that Putin will find himself in Poland next year. Of course!
There's corruption in your country too, do you refuse to pay taxes? Or do you still pay them because some good comes with the little bad? Same deal.
It's all corruption in the end so who cares, right?
There are problems in uncovering it, but the attempt to get rid of corruption is a big factor in the whole situation and one of the things Russia fears.
For Russia a corrupt system was a lot simpler to influence and Ukraine showing how a partially Russian speaking country, where people moved back and forth, fighting corruption was a threat to the system.
Oh man, wait until you hear about what’s going on in the US, we’re experiencing corruption to a degree you can’t even imagine.
It comes from an old culture that Ukraine is trying to remove themselves from, hence the large amount of corruption charges we see.
The same culture is incidentally what makes Russia one of the most corrupt countries in the world.
