Kharkiv - The transportation of bodies from the Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 crash scene will be prepared and accomplished by Friday, July 25, according to head of the state commission investigating the air crash Volodymyr Hroisman.

“The fulfillment of all measures is tentatively scheduled for Friday,” Hroisman said at a press briefing in Kharkiv on Tuesday, July 22.

He stressed that Ukraine possessed preliminary information about the number of remains found on the crash scene.

In turn, head of the Dutch crash investigation mission in Ukraine Jan
Tuinder said the experts had examined the contents of two cars of the
refrigerated train.

He said they were absolutely positive that 200 examined bodies had
been put on two train cars but that did not mean that the other remains
they had found belonged to other people. The identification of those
remains was pending. He assured reporters they would hold the necessary
tests to identify the remains.

“I would like to stress once again that the investigation must be
consistent with international laws and legislation of our country. We
want a public and transparent investigation to be conducted very rapidly
and facts of the horrible terror attack perpetrated in the Ukrainian
airspace to be disclosed,” Hroisman said.
