A brawl broke out in the Ukrainian parliament after the leader of the Communist Party blamed right-wing nationalists for fomenting the split of the country by failing to address the concerns of southeast regions and “eliminating” their independence.

A brawl broke out in the Ukrainian parliament Tuesday after the Communist leader blamed the nationalists for encouraging the split of the country by failing to address the concerns of south-eastern regions and “eliminating its independence.”

Fistfights in Ukraine’s parliament, the Verkhovna Rada, have been a common sight in recent years, certainly before the ousting of President Viktor Yanukovich. A return to brawling on the parliament floor, instead of in the streets outside, might be a sign that the situation in the country is finally stabilizing. On Tuesday, the scuffle occurred toward the end of a speech by Communist Party leader Pyotr Simonenko, who blamed the current crisis on the nationalists.

The MP accused the Kiev government of being passive in the southeastern regions, where people demand that authorities address their social problems and make Russian a second official language.

1. We have to hope it works out...and that there is dissention..means DIALOGUE?

"Can of Worms" we in USA that Nuland and Neocons have worked up meddling in other countries affairs.

[cprise]

2. And it only took US giving $5 billion to Ukraine 'activists'

A Bush policy that no doubt will be defended to the hilt by DU's war revivalists.
