Hungarian appearance at two-day event part of Orban's transatlantic attempt to bolster Russia's war

Allies of Hungary's far-right prime minister Viktor Orban will hold a closed-door meeting with Republicans in Washington to push for an end to US military support for Ukraine, the Guardian has learned.

Marton Ugrosdy, the deputy state secretary for the prime minister's political director's office, and Attila Demko, a leading pro-Orban academic, along with members of the Hungarian embassy in Washington, will on Monday begin a two-day event hosted by the conservative Heritage Foundation thinktank.
