John Cena is receiving backlash on social media for a tweet that seemingly references Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

The entire world is watching as Russian Vladamir Putin leads his army into its sovereign neighbor. Putin has called the Russian offensive a “peacekeeping” mission, which prompted Cena to reference his Peacemaker super hero character.

John Cena says he wishes he could summon the powers of a real life Peacemaker to end the bloody conflict.

The Peacemaker was recently renewed for a second season.

I don't see anything wrong with the tweet, it probably will not affect future movies or TV shows with him in them to much. lol This is completely different to his Taiwan remark. I think Ukraine could use someone like Peacemaker right about now.

Love that TV series Peacemaker
