Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orbán's crusade takes another grotesque turn today when he'll hold a closed-door meeting with Republicans to convince them to end aid for Ukraine. Something tells me that those who attend will take little convincing. Since the meeting was likely arranged with the knowledge and the blessing of Vladimir Putin they're now officially working on behalf of the Kremlin and against America's long-term strategic interests.
As for Viktor Orbán, he is no doubt being amply rewarded for his service on behalf of Russia.
Yesterday, in Buenos Aires, President Zelensky and Orbán had one of those "animated" convervations on his work for Russia and against Ukraine.

Allies of Hungary’s far-right prime minister Viktor Orbán 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.
Members of the Hungarian Institute of International Affairs and staff from the Hungarian embassy in Washington will on Monday begin a two-day event hosted by the conservative Heritage Foundation thinktank.
The first day includes panel speeches about the Ukraine war as well as topics such as Transatlantic Culture Wars. It is expected to feature guests including Magor Ernyei, the international director of the Centre for Fundamental Rights, the institute that organized CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference) Hungary. Kelley Currie, a former ambassador under then president Donald Trump, said she was invited “but declined”.
According to a Republican source, some of the attendees, including Republican members of Congress, have been invited to join closed-door talks the next day.
And the meeting where Zelensky spoke with Orban, which unfortunately we don't know what was said but can pretty much tell just by the body language.
