Took away the flag, the Ukrainian delegate punched the representative of Russia

 

A Ukrainian delegate has punched a Russian delegate in the face during a meeting of the Black Sea countries after his Ukrainian flag was grabbed to stop him from photobombing a video interview.

Oleksandr Marikovski posted a video of himself hitting the Russian and taking the blue and yellow flag on his Facebook page on Thursday.

The incident in Turkey happened in a corridor of the parliament building in Ankara, where the assembly of the Organization of Black Sea Economic Cooperation (BSEC) was being held.

Earlier in the day, some Ukrainian delegates clashed with security officers who tried to pull them back as they staged a protest, shouting and waving their flags near Russia's top delegate as she tried to address the assembly. .

Photos of the riots were posted by the Turkish parliament on its website, and Mustafa Sentop, the head of the parliament, issued a scathing rebuke.

"I condemn this behavior that disrupts the peaceful environment that Turkey is trying to create," he said.

As representatives of the 13 countries at BSEC met, Russian drones continued to attack the Ukrainian capital Kiev. There are currently no peace talks to end the war, which has destroyed Ukrainian towns and cities, killed thousands of people and driven millions from their homes.
