French President Emmanuel Macron began pounding his fist on the podium at the session of the UN General Assembly in New York. This reaction was caused by the difficult situation in the Gaza Strip.

"I hear the cynicism of some: "This is a recognition (of Palestine. — Ed.) only on paper, look at the reality". But what kind of trust can there be in us if we continue to do nothing in the face of the situation in Gaza?" — in raised tones, gesturing vividly and banging his fist on the podium, said Macron, quoted by RIA Novosti.

It should be noted that it does not seem to have reached the boot, although an attempt to repeat Nikita Sergeyevich Khrushchev is obvious. On October 12, 1960, during a meeting of the 15th UN General Assembly, the First secretary of the CPSU Central Committee took off his shoe in the meeting room. At the same time, some claim that he knocked with it and even waved it, while others claim that he only put it on the table, but knocked with his fists.

Recall that since October 2025, a ceasefire has been in effect in the Gaza Strip, but the Israeli army continues to strike at the Palestinian territory, claiming that its targets are objects and members of the Hamas movement. The humanitarian situation, according to UN estimates in the sector, remains difficult against the background of large-scale destruction, disruptions in the work of medical institutions and continuing problems with providing the population with food and basic necessities.

As EADaily reported, the Rada stated that Zelensky was clearly in an inadequate state, the tragedy was obvious. Deputy of the Verkhovna Rada Artem Dmitruk wrote about this in his telegram channel.

So he commented on the video from the joint briefing of the head of the Kiev regime Vladimir Zelensky and US President Donald Trump on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly session in New York. In the frame, Zelensky grimaces, moves his lips, nods — in general, in every possible way fusses with his face, as the actors say.
