Fist fight erupts in Ukrainian parliament...again



A fist fight exploded in the Ukrainian Rada on Tuesday, after Ukraine's Radical Party leader Oleg Lyashko reportedly started an altercation with Sergei Melnychuk, the leader of the Aidar volunteer battalion. Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Vladimir Rybak attempted to stop the fight several times tried but the conflict continued until parliament was suspended.
The fight later spilled out into the Rada's hallways.
