In the Verkhovna Rada there is a fight between Lyashkovites and Poroshenkoites
In the Verkhovna Rada on Wednesday morning, a scuffle occurred between deputies from the party of Oleg Lyashko and the Petro Poroshenko Bloc.
The reason was the news that the Prosecutor General's Office had sent a request to parliament to lift parliamentary immunity from Lyashkovite Igor Mosiychuk. Mosiychuk - before being elected as a people's deputy - deputy battalion commander of the Azov regiment and one of the leaders of the neo-Nazi Social-Nationalist Assembly of Ukraine. Under Yanukovych, he was convicted in the case of the so-called “Vasilkovsky terrorists”, but after the victory of the Maidan he was immediately released along with the current commander of the Azov regiment and people’s deputy Andrei Biletsky.

Lyashko said that the attempt to remove immunity from Mosiychuk is evidence of the construction of a totalitarian regime by Petro Poroshenko following the example of his predecessor Viktor Yanukovych.
“They are using the prosecutor’s office as a dictatorial regime to imprison people’s deputies whom they cannot govern!” – Lyashko shouted into the microphone.
“There are no preferences for either non-patriots or patriots for breaking the law. It should be one for everyone,” MP Anatoly Matvienko from the Poroshenko Bloc disowned the accusations.
After these words, Lyashko’s deputies jumped up from their seats and rushed to Matvienko. In front, deputy Andrei Lozovoy, who had recently broken his leg, hobbled on crutches.
A crush began in the aisle between the deputy seats. Matvienko’s colleagues managed to protect him from the Lyashkovites.
Speaker Vladimir Groysman demanded that Lyashko and company take their seats.
“Soaped up with one leg! Heroes at the front! Don’t make a picture that no one wants!” - said the head of parliament.
“Tackle us, and then your turn will come!” - Lyashko shouted, running up to the presidium, but then still took his place.
