Steven Seagal, the 71-year-old former Hollywood star, recently paid a visit to Russia to express his gratitude and support for the victims of the Moscow terror attack. Seagal met with three of the survivors at the National Medical and Surgical Centre and condemned the tragic event through a post on the health ministry’s Telegram account.
Last year, Putin honored Seagal with a top state award for his international humanitarian and cultural contributions. The actor, who is known for his martial arts skills, has been a supporter of Moscow’s actions, including the annexation of Crimea in 2014 and has joined a pro-Kremlin party in 2021. He also visited a Russian-controlled region of eastern Ukraine last year and met with a separatist leader, leading to Ukraine banning him from entering the country for five years due to national security concerns.
Seagal’s ties to Russia and his public support for Putin have generated both praise and criticism, highlighting the complex relationship between politics, celebrity, and international relations. Despite this controversy, Seagal remains committed to using his platform to promote peace and understanding between nations.
