Claim 1: “Secretary of State Marco Rubio [stated] about the US having "taken a side" in the Ukraine conflict”

CORROBORATED

Web search results and Wikipedia confirm Marco Rubio is the US Secretary of State (as of 2025). Specifically, one web search result explicitly mentions that the Kremlin agrees with Rubio's assessment that the Ukraine conflict is 'essentially a proxy war between Russia and the US', which aligns with the claim that he stated the US has 'taken a side'.
