TL;DR Summary

A recent corruption scandal in Ukraine may have raised concerns about providing military aid to the country, but experts say the transparency of the investigations could ultimately help secure greater Western assistance. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has been pushing for Western-made fighter jets such as F-16s, and while several allies have committed to training Ukrainian pilots, no country has yet pledged to provide the advanced fighter jets. The latest corruption revelations may further damage Ukraine's reputation among its critics, but the transparency of the investigations will ultimately work in Ukraine's favor, becoming key not just for making headway in possible accessions to the EU and NATO, but also in maintaining the flow of military aid.
