Ukraine lawmaker manhandles PM Yatseniuk in rowdy parliament scenes
It does not appear that there is anymore cohesion in the Ukraine Parliament

Fighting broke out among members of Ukraine's ruling coalition in parliament on Friday after a member of President Petro Poroshenko's bloc physically picked up Prime Minister Arseny Yatseniuk and pulled him from the podium.

Yatseniuk was defending his embattled government's record when lawmaker Oleh Barna walked over to him, presenting him sarcastically with a bunch of red roses. Barna then grabbed him around the waist and groin, lifting him off his feet and dragging him from the rostrum.

Members from Yatseniuk's People Front party waded in, pushing Barna and throwing punches. Lawmakers from Poroshenko's bloc joined the fray and an angry brawl ensued for several minutes before deputies returned to their seats.

The incident exposed deep divisions in the pro-Europe coalition that have fueled speculation the government could fall even as Ukraine's Western backers warn that time is running out for Kiev to make good on its promises to root out endemic corruption and cronyism.

I dont really know how much longer West Ukraine will be able to hold together with this kind of divisive attitudes. This was not just any other lawmaker, this guy assaulted the Prime Minister. What kind of joke of a government is left in Ukraine???

The same joke government that the West decided on, now you just get to see what happens in a supposedly "civilised" nation when the west topple a government and install their own puppets (some of them are even nazi's... classy)

The current Ukrainian PM Yatsenyuk, was never elected, he was installed by Neocon Nuland, 1:15 into this hacked telephone call:

There has been no democracy in Ukraine since the coup, a coup that removed a democratically elected government as confirmed by international observers at the time. So the "joke government" continues.
