Shufrych was bloodied after Butusov approached him and punched him in the face, while former Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk and former President Petro Poroshenko, also talk show hosts, watched.
Shufrych rose to defend himself and the two fell to the ground in the violent fight before Butusov grabbed his opponent by the head as horrified guests pleaded with them to stop. Finally, they were able to separate them. Earlier, former President Poroshenko had criticized Shufrych for his comments, saying: “There is a Russian agent right here in the studio.”
