Caption: Ukraine Slams Russia Day Greetings as U.S. Sends Controversial Message. Ukraine has criticized countries that congratulated Moscow on Russia Day — taking special aim at U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio - According to politico. In a rare move, Rubio sent warm wishes to the Russian people, the first senior U.S. official to do so since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Ukraine’s Foreign Minister called it “particularly unpleasant” to see friendly messages addressed to what he called the “Russian aggressor.” Rubio’s message spoke of hopes for peace and constructive U.S.–Russia relations — a stance the Kremlin praised as a shift from previous U.S. policy. President Trump, back in the White House, has been trying to reset ties with Putin — though he's recently voiced doubts about Russia’s sincerity in ending the war. President Zelenskyy responded bluntly: “Russia is simply lying to Trump.” Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
