Ukrainian and Russian delegates scuffled at a Black Sea conference in the Turkish capital of Istanbul over the unfurling of a flag during an interview on May 4. Ukrainian delegate Oleksandr Marikovskiy posted footage on Facebook of the skirmish, which took place after he stepped behind a Russian delegate being interviewed on television. Marikovskiy was holding a Ukrainian flag, which another Russian delegate quickly ripped out of his hands. Marikovskiy fought back to retake the flag as conference officials intervened. No one appeared to be injured in the fray.
