Hollywood actor turned Putin spokesman Steven Seagal has made the bizarre claim that Ukraine was known for “organ trafficking, child sex trafficking and Nazism”, while the Russian leader himself granted the sycophant the Order of Friendship of the nation.
At a ceremony today in the Yekaterininsky Hall of the Kremlin in Moscow, Seagal, 72, received the honor for his “great contribution to the development of international cultural and humanitarian cooperation” in his role as envoy to the United States.
In his speech after Putin personally placed the medal on his chest, he stated: “Before the special operation, Ukraine was known for human trafficking, organ trafficking, drug trafficking, child sex trafficking, laboratories of biochemical warfare, fascism and Nazism”.
‘We still try to make them our brothers. These poisons can affect the entire world, not just us.
‘Many people say that all these conditions confront us with an existential threat, but in reality the entire world risks coming dangerously close to entering World War III.
