On December 10, at a meeting of Ukraine's National Council for Reforms, a heated argument erupted between Interior Minister Arsen Avakov and Odessa Governor Mikheil Saakashvili, when the latter accused the former of participating in corruption schemes and financing unofficial armed militias. In response, Avakov threw a glass of water at Saakashvili and screamed that he should get out of Ukraine. This incident has been discussed for several days already in the media, while footage of the event remained closed to the public, given that the meeting was behind closed doors. Today, on December 16, Avakov went ahead and published the video himself on Facebook.


(The glass of water takes flight with about 1:25 left in the video.)
