"Ilya, it's me! Ilya, stop!" During a scuffle in the Rada, Ilya Kiva accidentally started fighting with fellow party member Nestor Shufrych
In the end, they hugged.
Factions "Batkivshchyna" and "Opposition Platform" are trying to block a meeting of the agrarian committee, which is considering amendments to the bill on the land market. During the squabble, a scuffle broke out between Ilya Kiva and deputies from "Servant of the People".
At some point, Ilya Kiva got so caught up in the power struggle that he began attacking his fellow party member Nestor Shufrych. Nestor Shufrych tried to reason with Ilya Kiva and tell him that he was "one of his own". The video of the scuffle was published by journalist Yuriy Smirnov.

journalistBeat your own so that others fear you. The agrarian committee is descending into utter chaos. Batkivshchyna and OPZZh have blocked the committee meeting. Enforcers of order Ilya Kiva and Vadim Ivchenko are not letting anyone near the central microphone. Things have reached the point of total absurdity. Kiva got so carried away shoving everyone around him that he didn't notice he had started shoving his fellow party member Nestor Shufrych. Shufrych, as is clearly visible (but poorly audible in the video), began appealing to Kiva's reason: "Ilya, it's me! Ilya! It's me! Ilya, stop!" Kiva didn't immediately realize that he was trying to beat up Shufrych and only understood the situation a few seconds later.
As journalist Bogdan Aminov reported , as of 23:41 the opposition parties had blocked the doors of the Verkhovna Rada with chairs. The agrarian committee meeting is being held in the basement of the Verkhovna Rada, in the cinema hall where the president usually holds meetings with his faction. Dmytro Razumkov is in parliament but is not coming down to the deputies.
Earlier it was reported that after clashes outside the Rada over protests against the land market, a lieutenant colonel of the National Guard may need a skull trepanation. Police are preparing suspicions against three participants in the confrontation.
