“Most of us have friends and family in Russia & Ukraine,” Seagal said. “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.”
The 69-year-old added, “My prayers are that both countries will come to a positive, peaceful resolution where we can live & thrive together in peace.”
Seagal was awarded Russian citizenship by Vladimir Putin in 2016 during a ceremony that Putin said he hopes was “also a sign of a gradual normalization of the relations between” his country and America.
