KYIV, Jan 21 ― The seven coffins were hoisted into the echoing hall in central Kyiv on Saturday by military pallbearers in full ceremonial dress, to the sound of a lone trumpet and army-style snare drum.
Outside, Ukrainian and European Union flags were fluttering at half-staff in a wintery breeze, nearby roads were blocked and lined with anti-tank obstacles, and law enforcement patrolled empty streets. The moderator explained during the ceremony that it was Monastyrsky himself who called Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky on February 24 last year to inform him that Russia had invaded.
Zelensky and his wife Olena Zelenska had arrived at the ceremony wearing all black and carrying floral garlands to comfort loved ones of victims.
