The struggle in Ukraine continues to be mobilizing energy gamers throughout the European continent, however there isn’t any 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 struggle.
A deep division has set over the best way to resolve Russia’s struggle in opposition to Ukraine.
The V4 overseas ministers met right this moment (21) in Prague and mentioned a Czech plan to amass ammunition from third nations exterior the European Union for Ukraine.
Associated Press reported:
“’It’s obligatory to spice up help for Ukraine in all areas together with army help’, Czech Overseas Minister Jan Lipavsky mentioned.”
The Czech plan is to amass 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’ll anticipate. Poland is all for it, however Hungary and Slovakia won’t participate.
Polish Overseas Minister Radek Sikorski known as the Czech plan an ‘wonderful concept.’
“‘We’re very pleased to contribute,’ he mentioned. Sikorski mentioned Poland would contribute funds in addition to assist ship the ammunition to the entrance.”
The overseas ministers of Hungary and Slovakia abided by their strict refusal to offer arms to Ukraine.
“’Hungary has not and won’t ship any weapons to Ukraine’, Hungarian Overseas Minister Peter Szijjarto mentioned.
Slovakia’s view has not modified as a result of ‘the battle doesn’t have a army resolution’, its overseas minister, Juraj Blanar, mentioned.”
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 mentioned the quiet half out loud: “Prime Minister Robert Fico is turning into an issue.”
Sure, right here they arrive.
“From makes an attempt to regulate the general public media to the abolition of a particular prosecutor’s workplace and parroting Russian propaganda, Slovakia’s ruling coalition is taking pages out of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s playbook in terms of intolerant views.”
And, as we all know, ‘intolerant views’ is for them the final word crime – a sin, even.
