Vladimir Putin, the president of Russia, is shown being kind in a video that has gone viral on social media. On October 11, Putin welcomed Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed al-Nahayan of the UAE to St. Petersburg, Russia. Bin Zayed was having trouble with the cold while travelling to meet Putin. In a personal gesture, Putin flouted convention and offered the president of the UAE his jacket. Bin Zayed and Putin later shook hands warmly and Putin escorted Bin Zayed to his car to say goodbye. The incident gained popularity online and spread quickly on social media.
