He actively supports russia's war against Ukraine and the annexation of Crimea, spreading the Kremlin's propaganda narratives. In his public statements, he condemns the US assistance to Ukraine, which is why he changed his citizenship to russian. In addition, declared his readiness to personally fight against Ukraine.
In 2016, he received the citizenship of the so-called "LPR". He systematically visits the so-called "DPR/LPR", provides them with financial support, and calls on everyone to participate in fundraising to "help victims of the war in eastern Ukraine". He was awarded the medal of the so-called "Ministry of Internal Affairs of the LPR" "For Assistance to the Internal Affairs Bodies".
In 2022, together with russia Today, he made a "8 Years Before" documentary about Donbas, and explained that he decided to create this film because he was "offended to see the wrong history of the conflict in the Western media."
In February 2023, he got a symbolic tattoo of the letter "Z" in support of the so-called "SMO".
In 2023, together with the State Duma deputy Alexander Valuev, he announced the filming of a joint documentary on the same topic called "Just Life".
He is one of the key figures in the putin's Team public movement and a member of the all-russian public and political movement People's Front for russia (under sanctions from the EU, Canada, Switzerland and Ukraine), created at putin's initiative to "move russia forward through joint efforts."
