Russia has appointed action movie star, Steven Seagal as a special envoy for humanitarian ties with the United States.
The Russian foreign ministry announced the move on Saturday on its Facebook page, saying Seagal’s portfolio in the unpaid position would be to “facilitate relations between Russia and the United States in the humanitarian field, including cooperation in culture, arts, public and youth exchanges.”
Seagal has vocally defended Putin’s policies in the past , and has even criticised the US government.
Last year, Ukraine banned Seagal from entering the country for five years, citing national security reasons.
