Film icon Arnold Schwarzenegger has told Russians in a video posted on social media they're being lied to about the war in Ukraine.
He also accused President Vladimir Putin of sacrificing Russian soldiers' lives for his own ambitions.
I love the Russian people. That is why I have to tell you the truth. Please watch and share. pic.twitter.com/6gyVRhgpFV

Schwarzenegger is hugely popular in Russia, and apparently also with Putin. He is one of only 22 accounts the Russian leader follows on Twitter.
Schwarzenegger posted his emotional nine-minute video on Twitter, YouTube, Telegram, and Instagram. It was subtitled in Russian.
