The battle in Ukraine continues to be mobilizing energy gamers throughout the European continent, however there isn’t a consensus over it, not even amongst its neighbors.
Take the Visegrad Group (V4), for instance. The V4 is a regional cooperation group between the 4 Central European nations: Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Hungary.
These nations are united by historical past, traditions, cultural values. However what they’re NOT united by proper now could be by their geopolitical response to the battle.
A deep division has set over the right way to resolve Russia’s battle towards Ukraine.
The V4 international ministers met at present (21) in Prague and mentioned a Czech plan to accumulate ammunition from third nations exterior the European Union for Ukraine.
Associated Press reported:
“’It’s necessary to boost support for Ukraine in all areas including military assistance’, Czech Foreign Minister Jan Lipavsky said.”
The Czech plan is to accumulate 800,000 artillery shells for Kiev, with the primary shells delivered to Ukraine round June.
Eighteen nations have allegedly joined the initiative.
The reactions have been precisely what you’d count on. Poland is all for it, however Hungary and Slovakia is not going to participate.
Polish International Minister Radek Sikorski referred to as the Czech plan an ‘excellent idea.’
“‘We’re very happy to contribute,’ he said. Sikorski said Poland would contribute funds as well as help deliver the ammunition to the front.”
The international ministers of Hungary and Slovakia abided by their strict refusal to supply arms to Ukraine.
“’Hungary has not and won’t ship any weapons to Ukraine’, Hungarian International Minister Peter Szijjarto stated.
Slovakia’s view has not modified as a result of ‘the conflict doesn’t have a army answer’, its international minister, Juraj Blanar, stated.”
We be taught from this episode that the identical MSM informational bloodbath that was unleashed on Hungarian PM Viktor Orbán is about to be aimed toward Slovakia’s Robert Fico, for his lack of compliance with the Globalist plan.
Politico reporting stated the quiet half out loud: “Prime Minister Robert Fico is becoming a problem.”
Sure, right here they arrive.
“From attempts to control the public media to the abolition of a special prosecutor’s office and parroting Russian propaganda, Slovakia’s ruling coalition is taking pages out of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s playbook when it comes to illiberal views.”
And, as we all know, ‘illiberal views’ is for them the last word crime – a sin, even.
