VYBUTY Russia (Reuters) - In a public cemetery in an area of north-west Russia dominated by the Pskov military base are two freshly-dug graves that some locals believe hold the bodies of two Russian paratroopers killed last week fighting alongside rebels in Ukraine.

The Kremlin has denied helping the pro-Moscow rebels fighting government forces but Ukraine says Russia has sent in troops and the rebels say they have Russian soldiers in their ranks.
