WATCH: Massive Brawl Breaks Out in Ukrainian Parliament

 

Members of Ukraine’s parliament lashed out at one another on Tuesday as a brawl erupted on the floor of that embattled nation’s legislature. The fight erupted after a Communist leader attacked a nationalist party leader for adopting tactics which shed the country’s opposition government in a bad light and allowed Russia to cast the interim government as irresponsible.

The fight exploded when the two MPs went after each other, eventually drawing the members of their respective parties in on the expanding brawl.

A Ukrainian member of the far-right Svoboda Party was filmed three weeks ago attacking an executive at the state television station and forcing him to resign after he insisted that the television station had made him and his fellow party members look bad.
