Actor Arnold Schwarzenegger appeals to the Russian people against the invasion of Ukraine and tells them not to believe the war propaganda.
“I’m speaking to you today because there are things that are going on in the world that are being kept from you, terrible things that you should know about,” Schwarzenegger said.
The actor also disproved the Russian government’s claim on denazifying Ukraine, and stated that “is not true!” because “Ukraine is a country with a Jewish president, a Jewish president I might add, whose father’s three brothers were all murdered by the Nazis.”
“You see, Ukraine didn’t start this war. Neither did nationalists or Nazis. Those in power in the Kremlin started this war. This is not the Russian people’s war,” he added.
Moreover, Schwarzenegger also addressed the Russian soldiers and told them that the Russian government has been feeding them with lies and praised the thousands of Russians who were imprisoned after protesting against the war.
“Your lives, your limbs, and your futures are being sacrificed for a senseless war condemned by the entire world,” Schwarzenegger stated.
The actor then accused the Russian government of lying and even compared them to the Nazis after he brought up how his father felt guilty for fighting on the Nazis’ side.
“He lived the rest of his life in pain. Pain from a broken back. Pain from the shrapnel that always reminded him of those terrible years. And pain from the guilt that he felt.” the actor explained.
The actor who successfully ran for governor in California as a Republican in 2003 posted the video on Youtube and went viral on Twitter with 11 million views.
The video came out 22 days after the official invasion in Ukraine that led to the deaths of 10,000 Russian soldiers.
