So Zelenskyy's crime here is not knowing the identity of every single member of the audience and every word the speaker will say? This sounds a lot like gotcha journalism to me.

Take a look at this video of the happening and tell me how exactly we get to pin the blame on Zelenskyy for this?

Definately unfortunate. Can't even really blame any MPs to speak of. It does reflect on the person or MP that did not vet him properly and put forth for recognition in such a public way

As a side comment, you have to wonder about the soldier himself or his family that would have suggested he be recognized to begin. The government typically does not go looking for these individuals to dish out praise but usually they are made aware of someone thru a close family member or friend. Why would a family or the member himself want to be recognized for their service unless they are still proud of what that meant?
