Away from the recording set, the actor Steven Seagal unleashed the fury of public opinion by talking about the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, putting himself in favor of the military actions undertaken by his friend, President Vladimir Putin.
In the past, the interpreter of “Maximum Alert” also expressed his support in the intervention in which the Russian leader managed to annex Crimea to his lands, in 2014. Everyone remembers the words of praise he had for the head of the Kremlin, saying he was “one of the great world leaders alive”.
A few are surprised by the current position of the artist, remembering that in 2016 he obtained Russian citizenship. And then, in 2018, he surprised to receive the designation of Special Envoy for humanitarian relations with the United States.

Steven Seagal blamed an “external entity” for the conflict
Actor Steven Seagal reappeared and commented on the war started by Russia, unleashing the outrage of many who vetoed his words.
Through an interview for Fox News, he challenged the opinion of a world majority giving his “vision” of the invasion of the European country.
Most of us have friends and relatives in Russia and Ukraine. I see both as one family and I really believe that there is an external entity that spends huge sums of money on propaganda to cause the two countries to disagree
For the daily newspaper As, describing it as “a single family” and blaming the whole conflict, which precisely originated their friend and benefactor, on an “external agent”, is part of an unusual statement.
The 69-year-old actor, who has accumulated a series of accusations of sexual harassment within the entertainment world, and various controversies due to his political position, opted for a “peaceful resolution” to the war unleashed by Putin.
“My prayers are that both countries come to a positive and peaceful resolution where we can live and prosper together in peace,” he said.
Some Twitter users bristled at the thought of Seagal, who never condemned the invasion of Ukraine. Several tweets criticized his light position on the conflict.

Another episode in Seagael’s controversial life was the visit he paid to the president of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro in 2021.
The Venezuelan leader, moved by his presence in Miraflores, recorded his visit to the capital of that country in a tweet that he posted on his official Twitter account. Both gave each other gifts that they exhibited in photos on the networks. (AND)
