Seconds out, Round 2! Fights broke out in the Ukrainian parliament for a second time in two days on Thursday, Agence France-Presse reports.

The opening session of the Verkhkovna Rada on Wednesday began in a typically raucous fashion (as seen on PhotoBlog yesterday) as a fight erupted in the chamber between opposition MPs and two deputies whom they accused of defecting to the pro-government camp.

Anyone who has ever tried to pull a small child on a sled knows that it's harder than it looks. If you're resourceful -- and have a scarily strong Jack Russell Terrier at home -- you can go ahead and outsource that work.
