Any finnish can explain what happened?
LOL
Now I know why Nicko was asking. A Finnish journalist was in Ukraine, got accosted by some youngsters, got punched once. The end. What a story, right? One thrown punch -- story of the century.
It's in Finnish media now too, but guess what the headline is? "Russian media made the assault on Finnish reporter their top news - Eerola (the journalist who was punched): they're trying to take advantage of the incident"
Eerola has been bombarded by calls from Russian media asking for an interview. He's refused all of them, because he says it's obvious what they're trying to do. He also says Russian media is reporting that the assault had something to do with him witnessing the Ukrainians breaking the ceasefire, and he says it definitely had nothing to do with it.
Funny part is that Eerola is an anti-EU, pro-Russia joke of a politician and even he's not going to play the retarded Russian media game.
tl;dr someone got punched somewhere, Russians twist the story and make it huge news
