As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, there was an attack on MP Mykola Tyshchenko (expelled from the Servant of the People faction in January) in the Lviv Region.
Tyshchenko himself said that he was allegedly approached by employees and patients of the boarding house with a request to "protect them from raider capture, threats to their lives and eviction to the street." Allegedly unknown armed men illegally seized two hectares of communal land in Briukhovychi in the suburbs of Lviv.
Earlier in the meeting hall of the Verkhovna Rada, there was a scuffle between Oleksii Honcharenko (European Solidarity faction) and Mykola Tyshchenko (expelled from the Servant of the People faction in January). As a result of the verbal altercation, Honcharenko's pants were torn.
