Allies of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán will hold a closed-door meeting with Republicans in Washington to seek an end to US military support for Ukraine. It is reported The Guardian.
Undersecretary of State in the Office of the Prime Minister's Policy Director Marton Ugroszdi and academician Attila Demko, as well as staff from the Hungarian Embassy in Washington, D.C., will kick off a two-day event organized by the conservative think tank Heritage Foundation on Monday, December 11.
On the first day of the summit, panel speeches are planned, dedicated to the war in Ukraine, as well as topics such as transatlantic culture wars.
According to a Republican source, some of the participants, including Republican members of Congress, were invited to take part in closed-door talks the next day.
The meeting will take place against the background of tense debates in Washington about the future of Ukraine. Last week, the White House warned that without action by Congress, money for the purchase of weapons and equipment for Kyiv would run out by the end of the year. On Wednesday, Republicans in the Senate blocked an emergency spending bill to finance the war in Ukraine.
A diplomatic source close to the Hungarian embassy said: "Orban is sure that aid to Ukraine will not pass in Congress. Therefore, he is trying to block aid from the EU as well."
