Seconds out, Round 2!?Fights broke out in the Ukrainian parliament for a second time in two days on Thursday, Agence France-Presse reports.
The opening session of the Verkhkovna Rada on Wednesday began in a typically raucous fashion (as seen on PhotoBlog yesterday)?as a fight erupted in the chamber between opposition MPs and two deputies whom they accused of defecting to the pro-government camp. Several lawmakers from the opposition nationalist Svoboda group chased two men they called?"turncoats" ? a father and a son ? to prevent them from taking the oath. ?
Ukraine's parliament has seen several physical confrontations in recent years amid bitterness between opposition and pro-government camps.?
