Former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger issued a message to Russian soldiers and citizens Thursday, appealing to them to recognize the lies being spread by their government's propaganda about the war in Ukraine.
“There are things going on in the world today that are being kept from you,” he said in the clip. “Terrible things that you should know about.”
Schwarzenegger also described an argument with his father over putting up a photo of Vlasov in his room. His father — a former Nazi soldier who was injured in Leningrad during World War II and hated Russians — told him to find an Austrian or German hero instead, but the teenage Schwarzenegger refused.
He then moved to talking about the current situation in Ukraine, referring to a similar message he delivered in response to the January 6 insurrection in Washington, D.C.“You see, there are moments like this that are so wrong and then we have to speak up,” Schwarzenegger said. “And then we have to speak up.”
