A hero MP scrambled into action today after a smoke bomb went off in the Ukrainian parliament.
The grenade was tossed into the chamber in the middle of a fraught confrontation over the conflict ravaging Eastern Ukraine.
More than 10,000 people are reported to have died in the conflict, which has seen forces under the command of President Petro Poroshenko fight separatist groups backed by Russia.
There were scuffles between MPs in the chamber, as MPs voted to gave preliminary approval to two bills that would restore sovereignty to separatist-held areas in Donetsk and Luhansk, on the Russian border.
