KIEV, Ukraine — A fierce fight in Ukraine’s parliament sent at least six lawmakers to the hospital with concussions, a fractured jaw and multiple bruises, setting a new low for the often-tumultuous body.
Ambulances rushed to parliament late Thursday after lawmakers from President Viktor Yanukovych’s Party of Regions stormed the parliament podium, which was occupied by opposition allies of former Premier Yulia Tymoshenko. The pro-presidential lawmakers threw fists and chairs at their opponents.
Pro-Tymoshenko legislators had been blocking legislative work, protesting a corruption probe against her.
