Kremlin ally Steven Seagal visits occupied Ukraine to film propaganda

Steven Seagal is once again embracing his role as a Kremlin propagandist.

The d-list actor known for 90s action flicks such as Under Siege recently traveled to occupied eastern Ukraine, where he visited a prison camp run by Russian-backed separatists and spread Kremlin talking points.

Footage shared by Russian state media showed the 70-year-old standing in what was identified as the wreckage of Ukraine’s Olenivka prison in Donetsk. The prison was the site where an explosion in late July killed approximately 50 Ukrainian prisoners of war in disputed circumstances. Russia accused Ukraine of firing American-made rocket launchers at the prison, while Ukraine insisted that Russia staged an artillery attack to cover up war crimes committed at the prison.
