He asked his assistant to help the South Sudanese president. In full version. When you see him waving his hand at the end he says : help him please.

This was refreshing to watch!! No making fun or frustration… JUST SINCERE PATIENCE AS HE TRIED TO SHOW HIM SOMETHING EXCITING 💯

[lalalala]

He's very respectful, he didn't ask anyone to help to the south Sudan president which would be embarrassing he tried to give him a hand from president to president

[egoruderico]

What a charming and humble guy. Helping others with their struggles. I am sure he will do wonders for people in Europe 😊.

Респект Владимиру Владимировичу, он не унижает и не высмеивает его, а наоборот подсказывает и показывает, это стоит уважения и говорит что, человек воспитанный.

[DomTheTA]

I've never seen the human side of Putin before, shows class here.

[baddonkey]

They can't speak the same language and this man communicated without any words to a fellow diplomat. That's respect

[ElonaldTrusk]

Now imagine biden trying to figure out how to use it 😂

The most powerful man showing such humility. Pure class. Cape Town South Africa.

Not only did Bush give him that hat, he gave him his brains as well.
