8 year old conflict, many knew of it already and see Ukraine as the aggressor,

Then they are wrong. Russia has been the aggressor for this entire time, and its their own damn fault that Ukraine has been moving away from them. To the point that when Russia came screaming into the country, a ton of territory in the east that everyone thought would side with the Russians instead started fighting back with a savagery rarely seen in war. To the point you saw cities that were majority ethnic Russians deciding they would rather be razed to the ground than join the Russians. Which is part of the reason that the Donbass is still not secure, even though they were the ones who said it would be done almost as soon as they invaded.

Ukraine being ultra corrupt

Who isnt in Eastern Europe? That doesnt change the fact that Russia is the larger threat, and it would behoove us to side with Ukraine. Just like we did the Hungarians, Polish, Baltics, Bulgarians, and Romanians. All of these governments are fairly corrupt. But sometimes you have to look the other way to deal with a larger threat.

Ukraine Govt shutting down Biden corruption investigation because Soros told them not too,

Did you...did you just link to a statement from the guilty party themsleves?! No freaking shit the Atlantic Council says they had to shut down the investigation. It would have implicated THEM! Ukraine never stopped any such investigations. The US just said they didnt want to hear it anymore, because it turns out that Trump was on to something when he said something was rotten over there. And I would like to remind you that for all the complaints that people have thrown his way, it was Zelensky who was saying that he liked Trump and was wanting to work with him on corruption issues...which was the entire basis for the "Ukrainian Collusion" they tried to impeach him over.
