> It's about countries that see Russia as a threat and countries that want normal relations with Russia. It's a bit too simplified. First, I believe everybody would like to have normal relations with Russia and not to deal with the PITA it became. Second, also the two countries you mentioned (Hungary and Slovakia) adopted the servile attitude to Russia because they perceive it as a threat and the current leaders of these countries believe that appeasing Putin is a smarter thing to do; the rest of Europe disagrees based on their experience so far.
