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.
