Communist leader pulled from rostrum as Kiev sends forces to eastern cities to oust protesters occupying government buildings
A brawl erupted in the Ukrainian parliament chamber after the country's communist leader accused nationalists of playing into the hands of Russia by adopting extreme tactics early in the Ukrainian crisis.
