In a surprising turn of events, American action star Steven Seagal made a notable appearance at the Kremlin in Moscow during the inauguration ceremony of Russian President Vladimir Putin for his fifth term.

Reports from Sky News indicate that the 72-year-old actor, who received Russian citizenship in 2016, attended the prestigious event and expressed admiration for Putin, whom he referred to as 'the greatest leader in the world.' Seagal's longstanding friendship with Putin is rooted in their mutual interest in martial arts.

Seagal's presence at the inauguration ceremony underscores the unique bond between Hollywood and Russian political circles, highlighting the actor's close ties to the Russian leadership.

As Putin embarks on his fifth term as President of Russia, Seagal's endorsement further emphasizes the global significance of Putin's leadership, at least in the eyes of some international figures.
