Arnold Schwarzenegger has sent a message to the Russian people and the soldiers serving in Ukraine, saying there are “harsh realities” that are being kept from them.

The actor and former Governor of California spoke of his fondness of Russia in the nine-minute plea sent out across his social media channels.

Schwarzenegger was the first Western film star to make a film in Moscow with Red Heat in 1988, and said he admired those who have been protesting against the conflict.

He said: “The world has seen your bravery. We know that you have suffered the consequences of your courage. You have been arrested. You have been jailed. And you have been beaten. You are my new heroes.”

Schwarzenegger has been a frequent critic of Putin’s in recent years and called former president Donald Trump “a little wet noodle” for “fanboying” over the Russian leader.

Near the end of the video, he directly addresses the president of Russia, saying: “To President Putin, I say: You started this war. You are leading this war. You can stop this war.”

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
