Amid the ongoing Ukraine-Russia war, Arnold Schwarzenegger made a direct appeal to Russian President Vladimir Putin to 'stop this war'. His video is now going viral on social media.
As the Russian attack on Ukrainian cities continues, several celebrities have voiced their opinion on it.

Hollywood legend Arnold Schwarzenegger recently tweeted a powerful video appeal in the midst of civilians coming under attack in Ukraine every day. He even addressed Russian President Vladimir Putin directly and asked him to stop the war.
Arnold Schwarzenegger stepped up in support of Ukraine while he spoke directly to the people of Russia in a recent video. In the nine-minute long video, the Terminator actor addressed the people of Russia as well as President Vladimir Putin. Arnold started the video by asking the people of Russia to spare him a few minutes and listen with an open heart. "I am speaking to you today because there are things going on in the world that are being kept from you, terrible things that you should know about."
Arnold then went back to his childhood and recalled how his hero Russian heavyweight lifter Yuri Petrovich Vlasov was his biggest inspiration growing up. He also noted that his father wanted him not to idealize a Russian man as he had fought against them as a soldier of the Nazi army in World War II.
Arnold Schwarzenegger continued, "It didn’t matter to me what flag Yuri Vlasov carried. The strength and the heart of the Russian people have always inspired me. That is why I hope you will let me tell the truth about the war in Ukraine and what is happening there." The actor proceeded to inform that 141 nations have voted against Russia in the UN.
