For a few weeks, tension has spread between Russia and Ukraine, due to fears that the eastern power will invade its neighbor. Some of this was shown on a TV show.
A violent fight broke out during a political talk show in Ukraine, where a Ukrainian journalist hit an analyst who initially refused to condemn Russia’s actions on the border.
It is a communicator called Yuriy Butusov, who consulted the legislator Nestor Shufrych regarding the current conflict between the former Soviet countries.
Everything indicates that Shufrych showed a “neutral” position and avoided criticizing Vladimir Putin for having increased the armed contingent in the vicinity of Ukraine.
It was following that that Butusov got up from his seat and hit the parliamentarian, who seconds later got up and responded harshly.
The most curious thing regarding the case was that, following the first hit, the studio audience applauded the action carried out by the journalist.
