The Ukrainian MP retaliated by throwing punches at the Russian\u2019s head before retrieving the flag. Bystanders intervened to separate the two men.<\/p>\n<p>The Black Sea Economic Cooperation was established in 1993 to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/china-uses-ukraine-war-to-promote-belt-and-road-in-africa\/\" title=\"China Uses Ukraine War to Promote Belt and Road in Africa\">promote economic cooperation<\/a> between countries in the region. Founding members included Albania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Moldova, Romania, Russia, Turkey, and Ukraine. The group has since expanded to include Bulgaria, Greece, and Serbia. However, Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine last year has strained relationships between the two countries.<\/p>\n<h3>Tensions at the Assembly<\/h3>\n<p>During remarks from a Russian diplomat, members of Ukraine\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/watch-ukrainian-diplomat-swings-at-russian-attempting-to-steal-flag\/\" title=\"VIDEO: Ukrainian Diplomat Fights Russian Over Flag Theft.\">delegation protested<\/a> by shouting and waving a Ukrainian flag. The Ukrainians were also angered when a member of the Russian delegation addressed the assembly while wearing a St George\u2019s ribbon, which they saw as a symbol of Russian aggression.

Moscow reported shooting down two drones that flew over the Kremlin earlier this week, causing them to crash into the building. The U.S. and Ukraine have both denied any involvement in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/aoc-compares-cruz-hawley-to-her-sexual-assault-tactics-of-abusers-who-want-to-do-it-again\/\" title=\"AOC Compares Cruz, Hawley To Her \u2018Sexual Assault\u2019: \u2018Tactics Of Abusers\u2019 Who Want To \u2018Do It Again\u2019\">alleged incident<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMr. Peskov is lying, obviously.
