Malaysia Says Ukraine Rebels Agree to Hand Over MH17 Victims

Pro-Russian rebels released bodies from the crash site of the Malaysian jet that was shot down over eastern Ukraine last week as U.S. and European leaders hammered home their message that President Vladimir Putin is isolating himself on the world stage.

The corpses stored in trains left for the city of Kharkiv after a rescue effort that was hampered by local insurgents and sparked a global controversy. As European foreign ministers head to Brussels for a summit tomorrow to discuss further sanctions, President Barack Obama urged Putin to rein in the rebels, who he said were “Russia-backed.”
