John flipped the middle finger when he talked about one injured Ukrainian solder's attitude to POTUS Donald TrumpCredit: ITVIt came as Susanna, 54, was speaking to journalist John Sweeney.
He was being interviewed from a live video link to Kyiv, wearing his infamous "lucky" orange beanie hat, after Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky told how he would resign if it would foster a peace deal amid the country's war with Russia.
His remark came as Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin's Russia held peace talks without Kyiv at the table.
Zelensky's remarks and vow - which he made in return for a guarantee of Nato membership - came after Trump branded him a "dictator" for not holding an election during the war.

A separate screen then panned to injured Ukrainian soldiers in a clinic, who were seen trying out new prosthetic limbs in a rehab session after being injured in the conflict.
Susanna's co-host Richard Madeley then asked him "how shocked" the people of Ukraine were about Trump's change in attitude towards the country.
John blasted the POTUS' remarks as "disgusting" and continued to talk about the "titanium clinic" - which fits soldiers with bionic limbs - for recovery.

He continued: "There's a bloke there that has lost both arms and one leg and so he's got two plastic hands.
"And I said what do you think about Trump?" before he said: "I don't want to swear."
Moment EastEnders star Richard Blackwood leaves GMB host Susanna Reid stunned as he reveals 'real age'He added: "The Ukrainians have done some technology that the muscles in the stump in his arm can now control this thing [the hand.]
"And it's slow and he's learning, but he said 'wait wait wait' and he gave Putin the finger.
"And it made me cry."
Susanna said: "Oh," before gaining composure and said: "I understand it made you feel personally the power of that.

Those watching at home were left divided at Susanna's scolding.
One took to X to muse: "Did I miss an unfortunate hand gesture?"
A second put: "Prim & proper Susanna Reid tells off John Sweeney over a Ukrainian soldier who had lost multiple limbs in the war for using his prosthetic hand to make a 'finger gesture'."
A third commented: "Show men with arms and legs blown off and describe that in detail, show the devastation caused by war but DO NOT under any circumstances , show the bird, there are children watching. They can handle people being blown up but no hurty hand signs."
