SNP Leadership frontrunner, Humza Yousaf, was caught on camera today making an excruciating faux pas in front of a group of Ukrainian women. Mr Yousaf finished posing for photos before asking, “where are all the men?”
According to BBC News’ Scotland Editor James Cook, the women laughed awkwardly before explaining that many of their partners had stayed in Ukraine to fight in the war.
Interviewed shortly afterwards, Mr Yousaf told the BBC that a number of men were elsewhere in the building, and claimed the women with whom he had held the meeting did not seem to have taken offence.
He added, “They of course were rightly saying to me that for many of them their families are not able to make it, not all of their families are able to make it”.
“I don’t think any of the women were at all offended or upset.”
