People gather in St Michael Cathedral in Kyiv for the farewell ceremony for two Ukrainian servicemen. One of the deceased, Oleg Barno, was a People's Deputy of the Verkhovna Rada -- a member of Ukraine's parliament -- and died this week on the conflict's eastern front. The ceremony was attended by political figures, including Petro Poroshenko, who served as the fifth President of Ukraine between 2014 and 2019. "We are losing the best people" he says after the ceremony, "which means that we are going through the worst times in our history." IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
