Blames outside propaganda for provoking escalation The actor who is a Russian special envoy, says he wants a 'peaceful resolution' The Russian citizen blamed an 'outside entity' for spreading propaganda Seagal, 69, previously voiced his support for the annexation of Crimea in 2014
Steven Seagal has sparked fury after claiming both sides of the Ukraine war are 'one family' and blaming an 'outside entity' for spreading propaganda against the Russian invasion.
The actor, 69, who is a friend of Vladimir Putin and was granted Russian citizenship in 2016, said he is hoping for a 'peaceful resolution' after forces invaded Ukraine last week.
The Kremlin apologist, who was appointed as a special envoy for humanitarian ties with the US in 2018, previously supported Russia's annexation of Crimea in 2014 and praised Putin as 'one of the great living world leaders'.
The Under Siege star told Fox News: 'Most of us have friends and family in Russia and Ukraine.
'I look at both as one family and really believe it is an outside entity spending huge sums of money on propaganda to provoke the two countries to be at odds with each other.
'My prayers are that both countries will come to a positive, peaceful resolution where we can live & thrive together in peace.'
The comments sparked fury online, with many slamming the actor for parroting the Kremlin's lines and failing to condemn the Russian invasion.

Brandon sent the Ho and the SHTF.
Steven Seagal was a big deal Aikido master. Akido is considered a joke today. Aikido master will lose all matches against Brazilian Jujitsu and MMA. You can see the YouTube videos.
But I was impressed by Steven Seagal Aikido back in the day AND his first three movies were very good.

SEES BOTH SIDES OF THE CONFLICT?... HELL! HE CAN'T EVEN SEE BOTH SIDES OF HIS BELLY!..................
Looks like he’s been out of training for a while...............
What an *sshole!
Don't remember any one saying Steven Seagal was smart.
Seagal doesn’t miss too many meals these days.
Daily Mail is going wall to wall on Ukraine coverage.
It’s like nothing else is going in the world, especially in the UK.
Bet Deep States are loving that...
I was wondering when this idiot would pop his head up.
What is especially galling is Seagal’s movies showed him defending the weak against a bully & defending right against wrong.
A word I have grown very tired of since this started: “propaganda.” As if no one can understand the basics of what Putin is doing and think for themselves. Have the “everything is propaganda” folks forgotten that Putin has a long criminal track record?
As an aside, when my mother’s natural beauty began to fade she stopped using makeup. She said that if a woman makes up her face every day, erasing lines and covering spots she develops an unreal image of what she really looks like. Then, one day she gets sick and can’t make up her face and suffers shock over what she really looks like.
Stephen looks like he actually spends time in a chair with a makeup man, like Hillary said she does. Hillary actually estimated the hours, and it was huge. Frankly, I’d never have told as it would have revealed what a self-centered A-hole I am. I’ve seen Hillary made up for TV and not made up. In the latter condition, dressed in a tent, she looks her age and alcoholic condition. After a while when you see someone made up the illusion is broken, and they look totally fake. Better to appear as you really are. No one is fooled. (PS, that’s a wig.)
Putin’s criminal track record and his background as a KGB thug are probably what appeals to some of his adoring fans.
He reminds me of one of my favorite uncles.
I had not seen him for years and years since he was in the military, and I was too.
Then one day he sent me some pics (this was before Internet) and I was shocked at how old and fat he had gotten in his retirement.................................But he looked exactly like his dad, my grandfather, at that age...................
Fairly good one, too..............
Did he axe why Biden got paid by both countries?
Putin before the massive steroids gave him ‘moon face’.
Well, he is just a cook. Maybe he’s been taste testing his product a bit.
Yes, they've gone nuts about Ukraine. A lot of the fake stories like the "ghost of Kiev" or the "1,000 dead Chechens" were promoted there. They truly don't care to get it right.
