The controversial Ukrainian feminist movement FEMEN has staged a nude protest against the Euro 2012 championship in front of Warsaw's National Stadium. Within minutes, all four protesters, armed with fire extinguishers, were arrested.

The incident took place a few hours before the match between Poland and Greece on Friday. The women appeared in front of the stadium half-naked, with protest signs on their bodies, chanting vulgar slogans about the sporting event.

The FEMEN girls ran through crowds of fans, showering foam from fire extinguishers everywhere.

FEMEN opposes Euro 2012 because of the fears that the tournament will lead to an increase in prostitution.

Earlier in May the infamous group attacked the Euro Cup, which is awarded to the winner of the European Football Championship, during its display in the Ukrainian city of Dnepropetrovsk ahead of the Euro 2012 kickoff. A similar incident took place on May 12 in Kiev, when the activists pounced on the trophy.

Doing business in Ukraine is very profitable and complicated at the same time. You need an assistance of a local partner. Local bank can be such kind of partner. If you plan to do business in Dnepropetrovsk, one of the biggest Ukrainian industrial centers, you can apply to these banks http://ukraine-vacat ion-guide.com/dir/ba nk/dnepropetrovsk/82 0 There are also contacts of other banks, accommodation an services you may need while your business travel to Ukraine.

Hello there! Yeah, these girls are little bit strange. I hope that doesn't make up your opinion about all the ukrainian girls
Ye, they are different, but they are intelligent, tender and very beautiful.

The leader of FEMEN is Anna Hutsol who receives her financial support from Josef Geier the Jewish boss of Gigolo Records -- like this alliance should come as a big surprise!
