The American actor Steven Seagal attends the congress of the international " Russophile " movement in Moscow. Seagal is among the foreigner's President, Vladimir Putin, hopes will spread Russia's view of the war to the outside world and show Russians that many abroad support them.

- I am one hundred percent Russophile, said the American actor, Seagal, during a meeting of the International Movement of Russophiles in Moscow this week, according to The Guardian.

Seagal is best known for his martial arts skills in many films.

The actor was born in Michigan but received Russian citizenship in 2016 and became a "special humanitarian envoy" for the Russian Foreign Ministry in 2018. Seagal said he became "one million percent" Russian after Putin presented him with the Order of Friendship medal in February, writes Breitbart.

This week he was in the venerable Pushkin Museum together with around 90 like-minded foreigners invited by Russia.

Putin's foreign minister, Sergey Lavrov, also spoke at the event.

- We don't just see neo-Nazism. We see outright Nazism covering more and more European countries. we see how history is destroyed before our eyes, sacred monuments are destroyed, Lavrov claims.

The former Bulgarian politician Nikolai Malinov was also among the participants.

- It is time for the forces of light to defeat the forces of darkness, says Malinov.

He has been elected leader of the pro-Russian International Movement of Russophiles. The movement claims to have gathered members from 40 countries and is supported by the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Pierre de Gaulle, tells The Guardian, that he believes the conflict between Ukraine and Russia has been provoked and caused by Anglo-Saxon interests. Gaulle believes it will put the world in deep danger.

Gaulle is the grandson of the famous French general and president, Charles de Gaulle.

In February, he told the French newspaper Le Parisien that the West has "unfortunately allowed Zelenskyy, his oligarchs, and neo-Nazi military groups to lock themselves into a spiral of war".

The Italian princess Vittoria Alliata de Villafranca (73) was also on stage during the event. During the event in Moscow, she claims that the "Russophobia" in the world is linked to when the USA landed in Sicily during the Second World War and started to spread its influence.

- I think Putin is nicer than Biden, but I am a good friend of Obama's stepsister, says the Italian princess.
