President Vladimir Putin reportedly raised the issue in Wednesday's conversation with Donald Trump.
"Trump supported the initiative and noted that the holiday marks our common victory," Putin's advisor Yuri Ushakov told reporters, including AFP.
From the Ukrainian side, the reaction is restrained.
"We want to find out more precisely what this is about - a few hours of security for a parade in Moscow, or something more," President Volodymyr Zelenskyy writes on X, stating that his staff will contact the United States.
Victory Day on May 9 is considered one of Russia's most important holidays. However, this year the traditional military parade will be smaller than usual due to the "current operational situation," according to the Kremlin.
