Ukraine names Steven Seagal in arms smuggling probe

Ukraine's National Police announced on April 28 that it dismantled an arms trafficking network that supplied weapons seized from Russian-occupied Ukrainian territory and from Slovakia to pro-Russian figures, naming actor Steven Seagal among the recipients. Police said the ring rerouted battlefield 'trophy' weapons, moved stock across borders, and even distributed some firearms as prizes. The investigation identified multiple pro-Russian propagandists and public figures as recipients and traced the supply chain to smugglers operating in occupied eastern regions and Slovakia. The case shows how occupation has helped create a cross-border black market for Ukrainian arms and raises legal and reputational exposure for foreign supporters WHO accept battlefield materiel.
