April 23 activists of the All-Ukrainian Union Svoboda threw eggs at the Regions Party members during a ground-breaking ceremony for building a monument to victims of the organization of Ukrainian nationalists and the Ukrainian insurgent army (OUN-UPA) in the Moloda Hvardia public garden in the centre of Luhansk.
While MPs Oleksandr Yefremov and Viktor Tikhonov and also chair of Luhansk regional council Valerii Holenko delivered speeches at the stone laid for future monument to OUN-UPA victims, a column of Svoboda representatives began to approach them.
They were carrying the party flags and crying out: "Glory to Ukraine, glory to the heroes!".
Some of the Regions Party members immediately stood in file in order not to let the column to the improvised stage and to the stone.
The Regions Party representatives, in order to howl down Svoboda slogans, began to sign the song Victory Day and also accuse the opponents of betraying their Motherland.
Then the file of the Regions Party members with some policemen began to press back Svoboda activists.
During this, the opponents were outraging each other and Svoboda representatives threw several eggs at the Regions Party file.
Police stepped in to the conflict and prevented the scuffle.
Before long Svoboda representatives left the public garden.
