On Tuesday, actor Steven Seagal visited the site of a destroyed Ukrainian prison and served as an official spokesperson for the Kremlin.
Russian state media published footage of the actor among the rubble of the Olenivka jail in Donetsk, claiming that it was struck by US-provided HIMARS artillery.
In late July, more than 50 Ukrainian prisoners of war were killed in the jail under disputed circumstances. Ukraine and Russia accuse each other of hitting the site.
As a special representative of the Russia's foreign ministry, tasked with US-Russian relations, Seagal was there to promote the Russian side of the incident.
In 2016, Seagal, a longtime admirer of Russia and President Vladimir Putin, was given Russian citizenship.
