No,

Most of this stems from Central European nations being Catholic or Eastern Orthodox and not being on bord with the ultra liberal social policies of Brussel.

The issues: immigrants from North Africa and Middle East, LGBTQIA+, abortion, NGO’s and the likes of Soros...

Look at it as Western Europe being Ultra liberal socailly, and Central Europe being a bit more conservative. But the West controls the government and holds the reigns “punishing” all those that do not agree and play along.

The last thing the EU or NATO should do is to alienate Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, and Romania, especially if Russia conquers Ukraine. Putin has claimed that the U.S. and NATO promised not to extend the alliance east of Germany. If his goal is to push NATO back to its Cold War borders, angering what would be front line States is the height of foolishness.

There are old boundary disputes in Eastern Europe that, assuming Russia wins, could be used as enticements to have these countries leave the NATO and EU alliances. By nullifying Stalin's 1945 annexation of the Lvov area, Ruthenia, and Moldova, and returning them to Poland, Slovakia, and Romania, respectively, Putin could build up some good will.

However, Ukraine may accept Russian terms or may even successfully resist the invasion.
