US snubs Putin’s swearing-in: Here’s who did show up

The U. S. and several other world leaders boycotted Russian President Vladimir Putin’s swearing-in ceremony for his fifth term on Tuesday, though the ceremony did draw a few famous faces.

Putin was sworn into his fifth presidential term at a Kremlin inauguration on Tuesday, ushering in the beginning of at least another six years as Russia’s leader.

The win makes Putin, 71, Russia’s longest-serving leader since Catherine the Great in 1796, surpassing the record held by former Soviet Union leader Joseph Stalin.

In the wake of ongoing scrutiny of Putin as Russia pushes forward with its invasion of Ukraine, many world leaders, including the U. S., snubbed the inauguration ceremony.

In his inauguration speech, Putin criticized what he called Western leaders’ “aggression” against Russia and suggested talks over security and strategic stability would only be possible if the West changed its approach.

“The choice is theirs: Whether they intend to continue trying to contain Russia’s development, continue the policy of aggression, the relentless pressure they have been exerting on our country for years, or seek a path to cooperation and peace,” Putin said, per the Kremlin’s website.

While many notable faces were no-shows, a crowd was still present to watch Putin take the oath of office.

Among those included American actor Steve Seagal, who is an ally of Putin’s and was appointed in 2018 as Russia’s special envoy to the U. S., Sky News reported Tuesday. Seagal reportedly called Putin the “world’s greatest leader,” and that “he’s very looking forward” to his next term, per Newsweek.
