Two Ukrainian activists from the feminist group Femen caused chaos by attacking the famous “Broken Chair” in front of the United Nations headquarters in Geneva with chainsaws. Wrapped in Ukrainian flags used as garters, women protested Russia by chanting slogans such as “Keep Russia out of the United Nations.”
