-

Russian news RIA Novosti says American actor and musician Steven Seagal has performed at a concert in the breakaway region of Crimea on a stage decorated with the flag of pro-Russian separatist­s fighting in eastern Ukraine. Seagal, who knows Russian President Vladimir Putin, performed with his blues band on Sunday in the Black Sea city of Sevastopol at a concert organised by a motorcycle gang of Russian nationalis­ts known as the Night Wolves. RIA Novosti reported that Seagal was then handed a shirt with Putin’s face on it, which he held aloft as he thanked the crowd.
