Ukraine water fight video exposes government breakdown

Divisions within Ukraine's post-revolutionary government burst into the open last week, after a video was made public of a profanity-filled row between Interior Minister Arsen Avakov and Odessa governor Mikheil Saakashvili.

During the row at a government meeting, Mr Avakov hurled a water glass at Mr Saakashvili.

Some people jokingly called it the Ukrainian "Watergate." But the ramifications of the fight could be very serious.

In addition to the glassware, the men threw substantial - though uncorroborated - accusations of corruption against each other.
