Actor and martial arts extraordinaire Steven Seagal was seen warning people about World War III. NY Post reported on Steven Seagal's Russian connection years ago, so it's easy to see why Ukraine may not like Steven Seagal too much. As reported by NY Post back in 2022:

The “Under Siege” star was appointed as a special envoy for humanitarian ties with the United States by the Russian Foreign Ministry in 2018. The unpaid gig would “facilitate relations between Russia and the United States in the humanitarian field, including cooperation in culture, arts, public and youth exchanges,” according to the agency.

In 2021, Seagal was formally inducted into the Pro-Putin A Just Russia — Patriots — For Truth political party at a ceremony.

He was granted Russian citizenship in 2016, and defended Russia’s leadership for its annexation of Crimea in 2014, calling Putin “one of the great living world leaders.”

Months after he was granted Russian citizenship and personally presented with a passport by Putin, Ukraine deemed the “Hard to Kill” actor a threat to national security and banned him from the country for five years.

Seagal’s citizenship was supposed to be a sign of improving relations between the US and Russia.
