Shifting the topic here, but animosity between the Hungarian and Ukrainian governments continues. On a related note, some Slavic leaders are siding more with Russia, such as Slovakia's prime minister and president. The Czech Republic's new prime minister, while not explicitly pro-Russian, favors reducing military and other aid to Ukraine and taking a more neutral stance on Putin's war. These newer developments are in addition to well-known, longer-established Putin-siders as in Belarus, Bulgaria, etc.
I guess the sense is that Russia is going to take over Ukraine sooner or later (probably later), so why poke the skunk?

If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, Cal '70, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)
