Men in military uniforms carry attend a funeral ceremony, in Simferopol, Ukraine
In a room thick with the smoke of incense, beneath a glitter ball used in happier times, four shaven-headed Ukrainian soldiers stood to attention.
They wore no caps, and sleeves of their blotchy camouflage coats bore the red armbands of pall bearers, for between them lay a fifth soldier.
This was the guard of honour for Prapushik Sergei Kokorin, the first – and at the time of writing only – Ukrainian serviceman to die during the Russian invasion of Crimea.
Incongruously, the Ukrainian mourners were not alone. Next to them, four bare-headed, pro-Russian Cossacks in formal blue uniforms stood their own watch over Ruslan Kazakov – their own single casualty of this hitherto bloodless annexation.
Both men were killed on Tuesday night during a murky incident at a Ukrainian military installation in Simferopol.
