Is Putin Replacing Under-Fire Defense Minister with Steven Seagal?

Russian President Vladimir Putin is allegedly considering veteran Hollywood star and aikido expert Steven Seagal as a replacement for beleaguered Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu.

That is according to a number of Iranian outlets, which reported the news on Monday night, apparently citing the Russian state news agency Sputnik.

Shoigu and Russia's military chief, General Valery Gerasimov, have both faced the ire of the pro-war patriotic factions of the Russian establishment, including Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov, former frontline general Igor Girkin and, most famously, Wagner Group boss Yevgeny Prigozhin.

The latter even launched a mutiny in recent days, leading his troops towards Moscow before unexpectedly turning back. But even as the rebellion appeared to come to an end at the 11th hour, there were lingering questions about what Russia's top military leadership knew ahead of these events, how they acted and what could be the possible repercussions for those deemed to have failed Putin.

Steven Seagal, one of the Russian president's most loyal supporters in the West, was personally appointed by Putin as Russia's special envoy to the U.S. in 2018, although he signaled a "change" to his role after Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022.

But has he really been vying for Russia's top defense job? As Newsweek Misinformation Watch found, Iranian outlets have apparently fallen for a social media hoax.

A number of Twitter, Reddit and Telegram posts (in English, Persian and other languages) over the past two days made the sensational claim that Steven Seagal, the star of 1990s action blockbusters Under Siege and Out for Justice, was set to replace Shoigu as the head of the Russian ministry of defense.

"Russia's Sputnik news agency reported that Russian President Vladimir Putin appointed Steven Seagal as Russia's new defense minister," a Reddit post said on Monday, June 26.

"Things are getting serious. Putin has just named Steven Seagal as acting Minister of Defense," tweeted an unverified account of Luis Moreno, a former U.S. ambassador to Jamaica (the account includes a "NAFO fella" userpic).

"Meanwhile, for #Iran , the #ruZZian Defense Minister is Steven Seagal," another account tweeted.

The articles, which referenced Sputnik as their source, appeared to have since been deleted from the Fars News, IRGC and other outlets and their Telegram channels, which have hundreds of thousands of subscribers.

Newsweek searched the Sputnik website and Telegram feed and found no evidence of such a story being published. Instead, as other users pointed out, the Iranians appeared to have taken the jokes and memes surrounding Prigozhin's mutiny—and referencing Seagal's deep ties to Russia—at face value.

News too good to be true

Now confirmed by Ukraine as well. The AFU has liberated the village of Starmayorske in the Vremyevsky ledge, near the Donetsk/Zaporizhzhia oblast border.

"Officially!

The Armed Forces of Ukraine defeated the occupiers and occupied part of the village of Staromayorske on the Vremyevsky ledge - General Staff

In the northern part of Staromayorsk, the enemy made an attempt to restore the lost position, but it was unsuccessful."

"The commander of the "Azov" brigade, lieutenant colonel Denys "Redis" Prokopenko, met with the personnel.

" While in captivity, I said that for me this war will not end until we return our last soldier from captivity and restore the borders of Ukraine to the state of 1991.

I am a soldier. I am not interested in any other areas of activity, except military affairs. My heart, my soul, my body belong to Azov ," Redis said during a meeting with the brigade's fighters.

He also emphasized that the main efforts today should be aimed at combat training and re-equipment of the unit with personnel, equipment and weapons.

The long-awaited meeting with the commander, his presence next to his subordinates and direct command of the unit is exactly the necessary charge that will raise the morale of the brigade's servicemen and give them additional confidence on the battlefield.

The personnel of "Azov", which has been waiting for the return of the commander from captivity for more than a year, is glad to welcome him into the ranks and is ready to perform any assigned tasks.

Lieutenant Colonel Denys "Redis" Prokopenko is currently undergoing rehabilitation and will soon resume his duties."

"The Russians report the liquidation of another "fat" officer - Marine Corps Colonel Oleksandr Horin, commander of the reconnaissance battalion.

He was killed on July 14 somewhere near Tokmak.

In 2014, he commanded the battalion that stormed the Crimean Belbek airfield."


"Judging by the latest video, the Russians have converted a shopping center into a UAV production facility

Therefore, it becomes more understandable why shopping malls burn in Russia from time to time"

"Putin and Shoigu continue their purge of unreliable military commanders.

After dismissing generals Popov and Seliverstov, arresting Surovikin (his whereabouts are still unknown), and dismissing general Mizintsev, it is the turn of the commander of Russian Airborne Troops, once a favorite, Colonel General Mikhail Teplinsky.

He will reportedly be dismissed in the coming days for refusing to send Airborne Troops to suppress Prigozhin's coup.

Teplinsky, as commander of rapid reaction troops, was tasked to create a barrier to the convoys of Wagner PMC moving towards Moscow, and he did not fulfill the order, not wanting to create a bloodshed.

I predict that the resignations of generals are only the first stage of the purges.
In the first hours after Prigozhin's rebellion, Russia detained at least 13 high-ranking Russian military officers for questioning, and another 15 were dismissed or suspended.

A little later, Putin will probably put them all in jail, just as Stalin did with his generals."

Medvedev's on the sauce again. Is he talking about Russia?


Today, the grain deal was set to expire but most people (Turkey too) expected it to be renewed. Then the attack on Crimean bridge happened this morning. Now Putin is big mad.

"Russia announces the termination of the grain deal.

Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that "in fact, the Black Sea agreements have ceased to be in force.""


"Recep Erdogan said that the grain deal "went down in history as a diplomatic success" and expressed hope that it would continue.

"I believe that Russian President Putin wants the Black Sea grain deal to continue," the Turkish president said."


"In recent days, the work of Russian propagandists has intensified significantly, with special attention paid to video and photo materials of captured Ukrainian Defense Forces soldiers.

Over the past week, more than 4,800 such messages have been reported. On some days, the Russians produced more than 870 messages through more than 1,300 different sources.

"The massive appearance of materials with captured defenders of the Motherland is the intensification of one of the directions of the Russian information war against Ukraine. This is not an increase in the number of people taken prisoner - this is an increase in the number of influence materials produced by Russian propaganda," - the coordination headquarters for the treatment of prisoners of war"
