He tries to smile all the time too. Every time he doesn't get a handshake, his heart was getting crushed little by little 🥺

Reporter: So why did you decided to invade Ukraine.
Putin: It all started when a cook didn't shake my hand.

This was both hilarious and saddening to see at the same time.

This is literally the antagonist motivation in the movie "The Gentlemen".

It all makes sense now

I like that one guy's like, "What are you doing? I can't shake your hand out here. We don't have time for that! Let's go inside first!"

The world : WHY?!
Putin : *intense flashback*.

The face of Kim Jong when he attempted to shake hand, hilarious!

Is this the first part of Putin's villain backstory?

"You're laughing,
Putin never got a handshake and you're laughing."

0:14 handshake with Lavrov but not with Putin... Should be really serious and painful

You know you've messed up when not even a fellow dictator shakes your hand

I feel sorry for Putin, the look on his face when they showed him up close after the cook didn't shake his hand.
