From Stuart Dowell: "A Washington Post investigation reports that Russian intelligence operatives discussed staging a fake assassination attempt on Viktor Orbán to boost his election campaign."

"In an internal SVR document, the plan was described as a 'Gamechanger' that would shift the campaign from policy to emotion."

"The report also details the depth of Hungary’s links with Moscow. One European official said foreign minister Péter Szijjártó provided Sergei Lavrov with 'live reports' during EU meetings. It also outlines how energy deals and intermediaries in gas trading generated large profits for figures close to Orbán.
The Kremlin dismissed the report as disinformation."
