A plane carrying the remains of some victims of the Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777's crash in Ukraine will depart Kharkiv for the Netherlands on Wednesday, head of the Dutch mission to Ukraine Jan Tuinder said.
The principal job now is to identify the victims, Tuinder said at a press conference in Kharkiv on July 22.
The bodies started being reloaded from a special train to caskets at about 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The international experts involved in the work started it with observing a moment of silence for the dead.
Tuinder said the train was filled with human remains in sacks. Their identification will take place in the Netherlands, and therefore the remains need to be put in caskets so as to prepare them for transportation.
The mission is confident that there are the remains of at least 200 victims available, although none of them has yet been identified, Tuinder said.
