The first planes carrying victims’ bodies from crashed flight MH17 have left Ukraine for the Netherlands, where experts will begin identifying them.
The Dutch prime minister will meet the planes in Eindhoven, amid a national day of mourning for the victims.
A total of 200 bodies have so far been accounted for from the 298 victims, 193 of whom were Dutch nationals.
The US says it believes pro-Russian rebels shot down the Malaysia Airlines passenger plane on 17 July by mistake.
The rebels, who control the area around the crash site, have also been accused of stalling the release of the bodies and tampering with evidence.
A refrigerated train carriage carrying about 200 bodies arrived at the government-held city of Kharkiv on Tuesday, four days after the crash.
Experts said they would continue to search the crash site.
