Do you have a particular amount of corruption in mind before Ukraine is disqualified from receiving Western aid, or are you 'just asking questions'?

Have the efforts of the Ukrainian anti corruption agencies and the defence of them by the Ukrainian public made any impression on you?

Well, I would not send "aid" to Switzerland too. Does this answer your question?

Not really, no. Per-capita Switzerland is rich, well fortified, and isn't being conquered to punish it for attempting to join a trade bloc. And free countries don't really like their neighbours being conquered by aggressive imperialist authoritarian states.

I'm interested in the criteria that you judge a country of not deserving of aid, especially since it is in the interests of the donor countries that Ukraine not be conquered.
