Steven Seagal Plays Putin's Mouthpiece While Accepting Award In Russia

Steven Seagal was happy to push Vladimir Putins agenda as he received an award from the Russian president on Thursday.

In a ceremony at the Kremlin in Moscow, the American action movie actor was bestowed with Russias Order of Friendship honor for his great contribution to the development of international cultural and humanitarian cooperation.

In video of Seagal accepting the award circulating on X, formerly Twitter, the Under Siege star listed an array of incendiary claims about Ukraine, where Russia has been trying to annex regions for years.

Reading a statement straight from his phone, the martial artist said that before Russias early 2022 incursion, Ukraine was known for human trafficking, organ trafficking, narco trafficking, child sex trafficking, biochemical warfare labs, fascism and nazism.

And these are the things that we still tried to make them our brothers, he went on. These are all poisons that can affect the entire world and not just us.

Claiming international tensions could spark World War 3 elsewhere in his speech, Seagal also denounced America and other Western nations for their support of Ukraine.

This war that we are currently embroiled in was started and financed by the West, and has come to involve the entire world in a fight against good and evil, the actor said.

All religions, all nations and all people should unite instead of being controlled and fooled by the monster of fake press, he went on.
