Putin awards Steven Seagal with medals of friendship

Kremlin chief Vladimir Putin has awarded the Russian Order of Friendship to US actor Steven Seagal ("Hard to Kill"). Seagal, who is also a Russian citizen, receives the award for his "great contribution to the development of international cultural and humanitarian cooperation," according to a decree published by Putin on Monday.

The 70-year-old star of numerous action films is the special representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation for humanitarian relations with the United States and Japan. Seagal is considered a supporter of the Russian war against Ukraine and a friend of Putin.

Seagal, who is also a member of the pro-Kremlin Fair Russia party, has consistently taken the line of Moscow's state propaganda. A visit by Seagal to the Russian side of the war zone last year was treated by Moscow's state media as a world event.
