Washington Post: Slovakia’s new government rejects aid for Ukraine 

The new left-populist government of Slovakia, a country neighboring Ukraine that had been one of its staunchest supporters, on Wednesday rejected a proposed package of military aid for Kyiv, fulfilling a campaign promise by Prime Minister Robert Fico to halt assistance in the war against Russia. 

The blocking of the roughly $43 million aid package, which was to include rockets and ammunition, is unlikely to change Ukraine’s battlefield capabilities significantly. 

But the government’s decision, issued at a cabinet meeting, is a first concrete sign of growing fatigue among Kyiv’s supporters in NATO as Russia’s invasion nears the two-year mark.

Yes Hungary and Slovakia. Hungary has a history of siding with bullies. They sided with Hitler for renumeration of course.

What is the new standard for Wuss Politicians, If the war can't be won in 12 months wave the white flag? Or is that being overly generous by a factor of 300%?

Look at WNU. He is wuss. He is in Canada, but he still fears a knock on the door by the FSB.

If the aid package can't be done via the EU or NATO it will be done bilaterally and the backsliding nations will be noted. It may make it harder. It will make for poor relations. Those are not going to go away.

Hungary will be hard to ignore. An Ukrainian win, Slovakia will become a desert like North Korea, Cold War Albania. the roads will be routed around it.
