Greetings from the USA

In his official statement, Rubio addressed the people of the Russian Federation directly, bypassing mentions of the current Kremlin leadership, and outlined a vision of the future after the war.

He emphasized that Washington’s priority remains to end the Russian-Ukrainian war, which should benefit the Russians themselves:

” On behalf of the United States of America, I congratulate the Russian people on Russia Day. The United States remains committed to achieving a peaceful resolution to the Russo-Ukrainian war. We hope that a lasting peace will pave the way for a more prosperous future for the Russian people and for more constructive relations between our two countries ,” the US Secretary of State concluded. Джерело: https://censor.net/ua/n4008098
