“If you look at the burning and other details, of course it’s not a bomb. “That Zelensky is responsible for the orders about torture and other atrocities that violate not only the Geneva War Convention, but are also crimes against humanity.” “It definitely looks like a rocket,” Seagal is reported to have said.

The pro-Kremlin actor was shown around Russian-occupied eastern Ukraine and the site of a strike that killed Ukrainian prisoners.

Kyiv and Moscow have traded blame over the Olenivka prison attack, with Ukraine accusing Russia of targeting the Olenivka prison to cover up torture and executions of Ukrainian prisoners of war, many of whom had surrendered after the defense of Mariupol. He wants to change the perception of this war,” DNR leader Denis Pushilin wrote on his Telegram channel under a photo with Seagal. In the widely publicized visit, Seagal, who was granted Russian citizenship in 2016, visited the site of the July attack on the Olenivka prison that killed at least 50 Ukrainian prisoners of war.

Steven Seagal Video Pushes Russia Claim HIMARS Killed Ukraine ... (Newsweek)

The Hollywood star is renowned for his pro-Russian stance and was filmed in Olenivka prison where dozens were killed and injured in an attack on July 29.

Seagal added a conspiracy angle by suggesting that Ukraine had used HIMARS because Zelensky wanted to silence a "Nazi" being held at the prison. Not to mention that the Russian government now does have a lot of artifacts from the HIMARS." Moscow alleged that Ukrainian forces used the High Mobility Artillery Rocket System, or HIMARS, to target the facility. "The interesting thing is that one of the killed Nazis is a Nazi who just started talking a lot about Zelensky," Seagal said, "and that Zelensky is responsible for the orders about torture and other atrocities." One of the justifications for Vladimir Putin's invasion of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine was to "denazify" the country. Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelensky called the attack a "Russian war crime" after Kyiv accused Moscow of shelling the prison to cover up the murder and torture of POWS.

Steven Seagal has not performed any known military service to any nation, nor is there an explanation in the video as to how he would have expertise in identifying the differences between missile damage and bomb damage. There were rumors that Steve Seagal had been deployed to combat in Ukraine along with Russian troops that were swiftly debunked, in large part because of the unlikelihood of a 70-year-old actor being called to ground warfare. The Russian-Ukrainian conflict has been rife with misinformation, and it is entirely possible that Steven Seagal was not actually present at the prison, which was being used to house largely Ukrainian soldiers who surrendered at Mariupol several months ago.

Steven Seagal visited the site of massacred Ukrainians to push the conspiracy that Ukraine committed war crimes against its own citizens.

Spokespersons for Ukraine have said that Russia set off “a thermobaric explosion” — also called an aerosol bomb or vacuum bomb– “from the inside.” To back up its claim, Ukraine shared satellite photos that show only one building in the complex damaged, and even that was hardly affected on the outside. The next year, he was banned from entering Ukraine as the country labelled him a national security threat. The volume was turned down on his actual words, replaced with a Russian dub.

Steven Seagal Ripped by Org Helping Ukrainians, Says Hollywood ... (TMZ)

Steven Seagal's pro-Russia publicity stunt isn't sitting well with orgs dedicated to helping Ukraine ... not in the slightest.

Ukraine is doing everything it can to defend its sovereignty. Ukraine is not attacking its own people." SS hasn't had a mainstream Hollywood career in ages, so that wish is already coming true for NOVA. He continues by saying they've been on the ground there for 5 months, and adds this about the narrative Seagal and Russia are trying to spin ... "The notion or suggestion that Ukraine is doing this to themselves is not only patently false, it's dangerous misinformation and comes solely from Russian propaganda." Michael Capponi -- President of the Global Empowerment Mission, another org that’s working to help Ukraine -- tells TMZ ... Seagal, per usual, is acting as a pawn for Putin and that the guy was clearly given special access to the jail in question. A rep for NOVA Ukraine, a nonprofit that spreads awareness of the war while providing aid to Ukrainians, tells TMZ ... the fact Seagal showed up at a Russian prison site -- where upwards of 50 innocent lives were taken at Putin's behest -- is despicable, especially since it served as nothing more than a photo-op.

He has not starred in an acting role since 2019 with most of his films prior to that consisting of poorly received, straight-to-video releases. We wish him every success in this capacity," the Russian ministry said." Seagal was later banned from the Ukraine, who saw him as a threat to national security. In November the same year, Seagal was also granted Russian citizenship. His attitudes did not soften as Russia invaded Ukraine in early 2022. Quasi-diplomatic privileges continued thereafter, including being made a special representative for Russian-U.S. humanitarian ties in 2018. Steven Seagal's history in Russia goes back, in part, to his family. In July 2022, it was reported that his the "special envoy" role as a Russian cultural ambassador to the United States could change amid the conflict. The same year, Putin proposed that Seagal be made "an honorary consul of Russia in California and Arizona, and thus a potential intermediary between the White House and the Kremlin." By this point, his sympathies for and affiliations with Putin were well-established, to the extent he was disinvited from an event in Estonia for his support of the Russian president. For more than a decade his support of Putin's government has been steadfast, having been made a Russian citizen and Serbian citizen in 2016, and going on to call the Russian president "one of the greatest living world leaders." Kadyrov called Seagal "almost a Chechen himself," while Seagal attempted to attempted to dance the national lezginka dance during his visit to the country.

Steven Seagal has toured a bombed Ukrainian prisoner of war camp where 50 died in a recent explosion.

The prison was last month devastated by a deadly explosion that killed some 50 Ukrainian inmates, including prisoners of war who had surrendered back in May at the besieged Azovstal steel plant in Mariupol. The 70-year-old actor – who has called Vladimir Putin one of the world’s greatest leaders – was photographed looking through the bars of a prison where Ukrainians are being held by pro-Russian forces. Seagal, who has Russian citizenship, was seen inspecting the Olenivka detention centre in the Donetsk region of Ukraine alongside Denis Pushilin, leader of the breakaway Donetsk People’s Republic.
