A train carrying 282 bodies and remains of other victims of downed Malaysian Air flight MH17 arrived in Kharkiv today, ending days of demands that pro-Russian rebels release the bodies.
Five gray refrigerated train wagons carrying the remains and another with experts arrived at an industry plant in the government-controlled city, Ukraine’s second largest city with a population of 1.5 million. The bodies are now being prepared for transport to the Netherlands, Esther Naber, a spokeswoman for a Dutch team of forensic investigators told reporters.
