Arnold Schwarzenegger told Russians in a video posted on social media they're being lied to about the war in Ukraine and accused President Vladimir Putin of sacrificing Russian soldiers' lives for his own ambitions.
Schwarzenegger is hugely popular in Russia, and apparently also with Putin. The President of Russia Twitter account follows only 22 accounts - one of them the actor's.
Schwarzenegger posted his emotional video on Twitter, YouTube and Instagram. While some of those services are blocked in Russia, he also posted it on the Telegram messaging app - which is not - where it got more than a half-million views. It was subtitled in Russian. He then addressed Putin directly, saying:"You started this war. You are leading this war. You can stop this war."
