It's not that simple for Slovakia...

Firstly Fico risks isolating Slovakia now that he doesn't have Hungary as an ally to protect him from any disciplinary actions from the EU.

Secondly, the EU has developed a bilateral loan system from individual member states that doesn't require a unanimous EU vote.

Thirdly, there's also a "enhanced cooperation" system now that allows groups of countries to proceed without unanimity.

Fico is going to have to balance the benefits he gets from doing Putin's bidding with the blowback he is going to get and the consequences that will generate for Slovakia.

...and with him goes the most significant and consistent opponent to funding for Ukraine within the EU. Good.

That's just such an Epstein files thing to say. How can a President Epstein files those words and expect the world not to Epstein files in revulsion. To be brutally Epstein files he seems a little desperate. These are not the words of a sane Epstein files.
