Diplomatic Tensions Escalate as Ukrainian and Russian Delegates Clash at Summit.

A Russian delegate tore a flag from the hands of a Ukrainian MP during a diplomatic conference in Turkey, leading to a physical confrontation between the two. The incident occurred after members of the Ukrainian Parliament tried to disrupt a speech by Russian delegates during a meeting of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation. The tensions between the two countries have been escalating after Russia accused Ukraine of trying to assassinate President Vladimir Putin in a drone attack on the Kremlin in Moscow. Ukraine denies the accusation and British security officials believe the attack was a 'false flag' operation by Russia to distract Ukraine from its anticipated counter-offensive and rally up support back home.
