It means that in his “struggle for global leadership” Obama puts not only himself but his country “above the humanitarian values respected across the globe,” the Russian lawmaker said

My Comment: Even if U.S. - Russian relations were not in "the toilet" .... I doubt that President Obama would attend .... it is just not his thing. But even if he was considering it .... the conflict in Ukraine is still ongoing and with both the U.S. and Russia far apart on many issues .... any meeting would probably only aggravate these relations. My advice .... stay away and let the situation calm down.
On a personal note .... over the years I have seen a few Victory Day military parades both in and outside Red Square .... it is impressive.
