Secretary of State Marco Rubio has said that the U.S. "remains committed to supporting the Russian people" as the country marked Russia Day.

The statement issued Thursday said that the U.S. wants "constructive engagement" with Moscow to bring about a durable peace between Russia and Ukraine.

But some social media users have questioned the tone of Rubio's message to a country which has invaded Ukraine, with one X user describing it as "an insult."

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov welcomed Rubio's message while the head of Russia's international affairs parliamentary committee, Leonid Slutsky, described it as a "polite gesture."

4. Sounds like Rubio is an asset too.

I think one Democrat should run for president on one position only.

I will deport all Russians in the US back to Fucking Russia.

Just to make a point.

receiving praises from a guy named 'Slutsky' is telling in a warped sort of way.
