"We need to admit that maintaining the enthusiasm of EU Member States will be a big problem,"-quotes the publication of Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Moravtsky. According to journalists, the neighbors of Ukraine were more painful to perceive a full -scale invasion of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in Ukraine compared to Western European countries.

In Central Europe, they tend to draw historical parallels with the infamous "Munich plot", which inspired Adolf Hitler to conquest in Europe. "Countries that were once pressed by Russian boots or have been disturbed by the neighbors of the aggressive Soviet Union have responded to the war by what psychologists call a reaction to survival," the authors of the publication say. The power of these states does not even accept Russia's partial victory, perceiving it as its own defeat.

In this regard, in Eastern Europe, they oppose the frost of conflict and negotiations that will give the Kremlin time to regroup their army. In 1938, an agreement was concluded in Munich, the United Kingdom, France and the Kingdom of Italy, according to which Czechoslovakia had to give in to Germany the Sudeten region for 10 days. In the Czech Republic, this historical moment is known as "Munich betrayal".
