Ukrainian Lawmakers Come to Blows During Meeting in Parliament

Two Ukrainian lawmakers exchanged punches during a meeting of the Conciliation Board in Ukraine’s parliament on Monday, November 14.

Yuriy Boyko, of the centre-left Opposition Bloc, punched Oleg Lyashko of the left-wing Radical Party after Lyashko accused Boyko of being a “Kremlin agent,” according to reports. A scuffle between the pair then ensued. Boyko returned to his seat and Boyko resumed speaking before he was struck once more by Lyashko, who was then asked to leave the chamber.
