The remains and personal belongings are being sent to Kharkiv for initial forensic examination. After that, they will be sent to the Netherlands, but the exact timing of this is unknown yet, the Dutch investigator said.

Aalbersberg said his experts, in close cooperation with representatives from the OSCE, "are taking advantage of every opportunity to get to the crash site."

"But everything depends on the security situation,” Aalbersberg said,

“We were able to make some progress in this regard, but the situation remains unstable, which prevents us from planning further activities.

"We assess security situation on the ground every single day, and if the opportunity arises, we will take advantage of it immediately."
