Politicians
in the Ukraine were caught on camera throwing punches after one MP
accused another of having ties to Russia's Kremlin.
A brawl broke out between two Ukrainian MPs during a meeting of
Parliament faction leaders in Kiev after one party leader accused
another of working with the Kremlin and called for him to be jailed.
Oleh Lyashko, the leader of Radical Party, was on the receiving end
of several punches thrown by Opposition Party leader, Yuriy Boyko after
he accused Mr Boyko of travelling to Moscow to receive orders from the
government there.
"Instructions must be received from your own people, from Ukrainians," Mr Lyashko said.
Other MPs were quick to intervene and end the scuffle, but Mr Lyashko continued his tirade, leading to a second fistfight.
This is not the first time Mr Lyashko, known for his populist
views, has been a part of violent scuffles in Parliament, where brawls
happen on a regular basis.
