Steven Seagal's Support for Russia's Military Operations
In a recent documentary titled "In the Name of Justice," Steven Seagal, the Special Representative for Russian-American Humanitarian Relations, expressed unwavering confidence in Russia's military efforts in the ongoing conflict. Seagal, who has a background in martial arts and was in the Middle East when the conflict began, emphasized his commitment to President Vladimir Putin and the Russian cause. He stated, "I will stand by my president and I will fight by my president," highlighting his readiness to sacrifice for what he believes is a just cause.
Reasons Behind the Conflict
Seagal articulated his understanding of the motivations behind the special military operation, citing NATO's expansion eastward as a significant threat to Russia's existence. He criticized the Western narrative surrounding the Ukrainian conflict, claiming that misinformation has clouded the truth. He stated, "I regret that half the world believes the lies and fake news about the causes of the Ukrainian conflict that the West was spreading."
A Voice for Russian-American Relations
Since receiving his Russian passport in 2016 and being appointed to his current role, Seagal has aimed to bridge gaps between Russia and the United States. He has been vocal about his heritage, noting that his ancestors hail from Russia. His political involvement includes joining the party "A Just Russia - Patriots - For Truth," where he aims to represent Russian interests abroad. Recently, he was awarded the Order of Friendship by Putin for his contributions to international cultural and humanitarian cooperation.
