The altercation took place in the US Congress during a vote on an aid package for Ukraine. Republicans and Democrats got into an argument over Ukrainian flags, which representatives of the Democratic Party started waving.
According to Fox News, this happened near the end of the vote. Democrats began waving Ukrainian flags, causing Republican Mark Molinaro, who presided over the vote, to accuse them of breaking protocol.
Republican from Florida Anna Paulina Luna, in turn, went to the microphone and demanded “remove these damn flags”.
Earlier it became known that the US House of Representatives approved a new allocation of money to Ukraine.
