The Russian MP’s press service informed Russkaya Vesna, accordingly:

"Hello, Arnie! You haven't lost any of your acting or directing skills, over the years, and you've made a memorable clip.

You have called Russians your friends and wished to "tell the truth.” Let me tell you this right away: you have failed. So, let me, in a friendly sort of way, tell you what is really going on in Ukraine and what the Russian army is doing there.

[b]Your words may have sounded very convincing to an uninitiated American audience. But not to the people of Donbas, who have suffered during eight years of daily shelling and bullying by Ukrainian nationalists.

Sure enough, your sunny California is not where you can see them; the U.S. media members have never told you a word about them.

You have mentioned your boyhood idol, Yury Vlasov, a famous Soviet heavy weightlifter. Well, he was native to Donbass, from Makeyevka, where the Ukrainian army just the other day struck the community by a deadly Tochka-U antipersonnel missile. Before that, they had also killed 21 residents in city of Donetsk using the same type of antipersonnel missile. Go to the homeland of the man you admire and find out from the local people where the truth is and where the lies are.

You talk about the Russian army "bombing the maternity centers," but you don't know that you are repeating a crude and vile fake that was fabricated in Mariupol. This is the city which the neo-Nazis from the Azov Battalion have turned into a concentration camp for civilians. They are using them as human shields, setting up their firing positions in kindergartens, schools, and that very maternity hospital you speak of.[/b]

You argue that there can be no Nazis in a country where the president is a Jewish person. Unfortunately, the ethnicity of a leader cannot be an inoculation against Nazism. Otherwise, all so-called nationalist battalions would have been banned when Mr. Zelensky came to power in Ukraine, including the Azov Battalion which has been banned/outlawed by the U.S. as an extremist organization. But that has never happened in Ukraine.

You think of your father, who took part in the attack against my home city of Leningrad. You say that afterwards, he felt remorse all his life for this. There was a reason for that. Unlike my father, who defended his Leningrad. Unlike my father who liberated Austria, foreign to him but dear to you, from the Nazis in 1945. And then he carried out the denazification there, thanks to which Austria is now a prosperous country. More than 40,000 of my compatriots had given their ultimate sacrifice, their lives, for this prosperity.

Russian soldiers and Russian citizens today cannot be ashamed of the fact that they are liberating brotherly Ukraine from neo-Nazis. The direct ideological followers of those by whose hands our fathers and millions of people around the world had suffered. And who have been assisted for so many years by the authorities of your new homeland, the United States of America.

I guess you can't see all that from the sunny State of California. So, if you really want to know the truth, get off your couch and come to Donbass.”

Sergey Mironov, the Chairman of the party «Spravedlivaya Rossia – Za Pravdu»/Just Russia - For Truth/" addressed the famous American actor and politician Arnold Schwarzenegger and extended an invitation for him to come to Donbass to learn the truth about the denazification of Ukraine.
