Robert De Niro has said he fears people could become complacent about the Ukraine-Russia crisis, and warned that Ukraine could be “overtaken” if a stronger position is not enforced by world leaders.
De Niro, who frequently discusses his political views in public, was then asked his thoughts on the sanctions imposed on Russia by world leaders.
De Niro is one of many cultural figures to have spoken out against the war in Ukraine.
The Taxi Driver star was speaking at the Cambridge University Union on Sunday (27 February), when he was asked about his views on the conflict.
