The European Union, as part of its new anti-Russian sanctions package, plans to impose restrictions on Steven Seagal, known for his sympathies towards dictator Vladimir Putin, informs EUobserver.
EUobserver states that the 14 package of sanctions against Russia will target individuals who spread propaganda in the EU and attempt to bribe members of the European Parliament.
Personal sanctions are planned to be imposed on Steven Seagal, who was present at yesterday's inauguration of dictator Vladimir Putin.
An EU representative informed the source that sanctions against Seagal could be imposed if there is substantial legal evidence that the actions of the former actor harm Ukraine.
