[houeto]

. Eastern Europeans already tend to crowd our sense of personal space anyway, then to suddenly be grappled and given robust, whiskery kisses on the cheek is disconcerting, to say the least.

It was cheek at first but then at the last second he tried to lip lock. That's when he got shoved back and slapped.

[Psalm 144]

Watch it at 2 - 3 seconds. I -think- the Ukrainian was trying to cross over from the one cheek to the other. Will Smith was struggling and they brushed lips by accident. I think.

Anyway, here is a much more dignified and proper protocol IMO.
