'No one likes to hear something critical of their government. I understand that,' Schwarzenegger said. 'But, as a longtime friend of the Russian people, I hope that you will hear what I have to say.'
Hollywood legend and former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger told the Russian people the"truth" Thursday in a video posted across his social media platforms.
The actor, famous for his portrayal of the T-800 in the Terminator franchise, announced to the Russian people and soldiers invading Ukraine that Putin is keeping the truth from them. "I know that your government has told you that this is a war to de-Nazify Ukraine. De-Nazify Ukraine? This is not true."
"You see, Ukraine did not start this war. Neither did nationalists or Nazis," the former governor said."Those in power in the Kremlin started this war. This is not the Russian people's war."
