Ukraine far right riot outside parliament

ONE Ukrainian police officer was injured and several far-right thugs arrested yesterday at a parliament rally against implementing the Minsk peace deal.

MP Semen Semenchenko, a former leader of the volunteer Donbass Battalion, led the nationalist protest demanding legislation that would prevent the February 2015 Minsk Protocol being implemented.

The few-dozen protesters burnt a Russian flag and demanded parliament pass a “reintegration” bill declaring Moscow the “aggressor.”
