#Russia state TV reports on servicemen killed in Ukraine, reacts to earlier reports of troop deaths In a report on 4 September, #Russian state-controlled Channel One said that two Russian servicemen who were killed in fighting in Ukraine travelled to the country of their own accord. The report, at 17:00 Kyiv time on 4 September, appeared to have picked up the story after media outlets suggested that Russian servicemen have been killed whilst fighting in eastern Ukraine. The channel also reported on a memorial event which took place in Moscow Region on 4 September to remember Sergey Zhdanovich, who was killed in Donetsk back in May. His relatives knew where he had gone, the presenter noted. When the hostilities began in #Ukraine, as his widow recalls, he couldnt sit at home, the report added. It was reported at the end of August that Russian paratroopers had been secretly buried in a village near the western city of Pskov after being killed in Ukraine. Local newspaper Pskovskaya Guberniya published photographs of fresh graves in a cemetery in Vybuty where paratroopers who died in unknown circumstances were said to have been buried. The publisher of Pskovskaya Guberniya, Lev Shlosberg, was subsequently attacked in Pskov, with commentators linking the incident to Shlosbergs political statements, particularly about the story of the secret burials. Today in Kostroma paratrooper Anatoliy Travkin was buried. Around a month ago the Airborne Troops private went to Donbass, not telling his family about this. His units command has emphasized - in order to leave for the combat zone, Anatoliy took holiday. He was 28; he got married this summer, the presenter said, over footage of the funeral. #savchenko #saveourgirl #UkraineUnderAttack #russianpropaganda #saynotomrputin #RussiaInvadedUkraine #Putin, #DontHelpUsPlease! #easternukraine #helpUkraine #Terrorussia
