  • TV channel closely tied to the Russian military teased a "high-level" US government attendee at the upcoming WWII Victory Day parade in Moscow.

Russian state media has claimed that U.S. Senator Marco Rubio might attend a victory parade in Moscow celebrating Russia's anticipated success in the Ukraine war, according to a report by Newsweek. The claim, which Rubio's office has dismissed as "ridiculous," stems from a segment on Russia-1 where a presenter suggested Rubio's attendance at the parade, which is planned for May 9, 2023, to mark Victory Day. This assertion comes amidst ongoing tensions between the U.S. and Russia over the conflict in Ukraine, with Rubio being a vocal critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin. The senator's office emphasized that he has no plans to attend any such event, highlighting the absurdity of the claim given his stance against Putin's actions.
