UKRAINE-POLITICS-PARLIAMENT-BUDGET

A deputy of the pro-Russian majority wipes the blood off the forehead of a fellow MP after he was injured in an argument with a pro-EU opposition MP during a parliament session to debate the 2014 state budget in Kiev on January 16, 2014. The Ukrainian government approved a programme of cooperation with former Soviet states that have joined the Customs Union, although rapprochement with the Russia-led bloc has fuelled continuing pro-Europe protests in Kiev.
