In a parallelogram, opposite angles are equal, and adjacent angles are supplementary (they add up to 180 degrees).

Given that the interior angle at point S is 95 degrees:

1. The angle at point U (which is opposite to S) must also be 95 degrees.
2. The angle at point R (which is adjacent to S) must be 180 - 95 = 85 degrees.
3. Similarly, the angle at point T (which is adjacent to U) must also be 85 degrees.

So, the statements that must be true are:
- The interior angle measure of point U is 95 degrees. (True)
- The interior angle measure of point R is 85 degrees. (True)
- The interior angle measure of point T is 85 degrees. (True)

The false statements are those claiming that angles U or T are 95 degrees or that angle R is 95 degrees.

Thus, the only true statements based on the given conditions are:
- The interior angle measure of point U is 95 degrees.
- The interior angle measure of point R is 85 degrees.
- The measure of the interior angle at point T is 85 degrees.
