Ukrainian lawmakers Oleh Lyashko and Viktor Yeremeyev got into a two fistfights during a parliament hearing on March 3.

Lyashko accused Yeremeyev of buying lawmaker Serhiy Melnychuk, who made it to the parliament on Lyashko’s Radical Party list, but defected to join Yeremeyev’s group People’s Will.

“This is my tushka,” said Lyashko about Melnychuk, calling him an offensive term referring to lawmakers who take bribes to change political allegiances. Tushka literally means a cattle carcass in a butcher shop.
