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.
It is difficult to find out who is in the graves, possibly because the identity could raise awkward questions for Russia. 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.
