The Ukrainian
parliament was briefly suspended on Tuesday after lawmakers from the
nationalist Svoboda party brawled with opposition politicians over the
language used in a speech.
The leader of the ruling Party of Regions faction, Oleksandr Yefremov,
delivered a speech in Russian which angered members of the nationalist
Svoboda (Freedom) party, who chanted "Ukrainian!" as he spoke.
Afterwards, lawmakers from the Svoboda party approached opposition members and
a brawl erupted.
The Chairman of the Ukrainian parliament, Volodymyr Rybak, could be heard
appealing for calm.
Lawmakers have frequently
scuffled in the Ukrainian parliament.
A fierce fight in December 2010, which sent at least six lawmakers to the
hospital, started when members of the Party of Regions threw chairs and
punched opposition lawmakers who had been blocking legislative work all day.
During a fight in April 2010, the parliament speaker hid behind an umbrella as opposition lawmakers threw eggs and smoke bombs to protest a naval pact with Russia.
Ukraine is deeply divided into the Russian-speaking east and south, which favours close ties with Moscow, and the Ukrainian-speaking west, which wants Ukraine to ally itself with the West.
