Czech Republic and Slovakia clash over aid to Ukraine. The divergence between the two countries does not start today.

It is essentially due to a less negative experience of communism for Slovaks. The Czech government is angered by the anti-Ukrainian statements of Robert Fico. He himself is solidly mobilized to help arm Ukraine, of which he is one of the main allies in Europe. The next Czech-Slovak intergovernmental meeting scheduled for the end of April has been canceled and there will be no more until further notice.
