Arnold Schwarzenegger’s speech “This is an Illegal War” was delivered on March 17, 2022. In this speech, Schwarzenegger urges Russian troops in Ukraine to abandon Vladimir Putin’s illegal war and for Russians at home to continue to protest the invasion. Furthermore, he mentions his lifelong admiration for the Russian people and nation, starting with his hero, world weightlifting champion, Yuri Vlasov, whom he first met as a child. At the same time, he states the lifelong shame his father felt as one of the Nazi troops who took part in the siege of Leningrad. In the speech, Schwarzenegger also takes particular exception to Putin’s lies that he has sent his soldiers to de-nazify Ukraine, whose president is Jewish and whose family members were murdered by the Nazis.

Barely a month ago Russia invaded Ukraine and is still at war today. Europe has not experienced this kind of war since the Second World War. Many people and Ukrainians are on the run from their family, house and hometown and living in fear of losing their lives because Russian troops are bombing and destroying their country. In Arnold Schwarzenegger’s speech “This is an Illegal War” from March 17, 2022, Schwarzenegger tells an important message to the Russian citizens that they are living a lie and should fight against the Russian government.
