The publication writes that even those who hinted at the legitimacy of the annexation of the Crimea Peninsula in 2014 are now on the side of Ukraine. The invasion of Russia into Ukraine was amazed by the former Soviet states satellites of Central and Eastern Europe, causing a sharp condemnation even by the most prominent politicians of the region, as writes the Associated Press.

It is reported that two earlier pro-Russian votes in the European Union, Czech President Milos Zeman and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, were not ashamed in their words, criticizing Moscow's aggressive actions. Yes, Zeman called the invasion on Thursday an "unprovured act of aggression. " "Russia has committed a crime against peace," he said in an address to the nation. However, as journalists noted, Zeman called annexation of the Ukrainian Crimean Peninsula in 2014 by Russia in 2014.

Many in the Czech Republic condemned Zeman as a "Kremlin servant" after he stood to Russia. It is also emphasized that Zeman has long said that Russia would not attack Ukraine, because the Kremlin does not sit "crazy" people who can start surgery with harmful consequences. "I admit that I was wrong," Zeman said after the invasion. The publication writes that Zeman has called for severe sanctions against Russia, in particular to exclude it from the SWIFT financial system.

"It is necessary to isolate crazy and defend themselves not only in words but also in affairs," he said. But in Hungary, according to the publication, high -ranking officials avoided the direct condemnation of Russia's actions for several weeks. For Orbana, the country maintained close ties with Putin, which worries many Western partners of Hungary. However, after the start of the full -scale war of Russia with Ukraine, even Orban has noticedly condemned the Kremlin.

"Hungary's position is clear: we support Ukraine, we support the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Ukraine," - said Hungary Foreign Minister Peter Siyarto. Bulgaria, the closest ally of Moscow during the Cold War, followed her example. "Strategic bombers and missiles in Europe in the 21st century, attacks from the air and the sea on a sovereign state are absolutely unacceptable," President Rumen Radev said. Earlier, Focus reported that Russia wants to blame Ukraine of nuclear terrorism.
