MH17: International experts unable to reach site; Dutch PM calls Ukranian President
Dutch Prime Minister, Mark Rutte, asked Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko to stop fighting with pro-Russian rebels in the area of Malaysia Airlines MH17 crash site, after international experts were forced again to call off their visit because of the clashes.
According to a Dutch government spokesman said, M. Rutte called Mr. Poroshenko on Tuesday morning, right after Dutch and Australian investigators in charge of recovering the remains of passengers of MH17 flight decided for a fourth consecutive day that it was too dangerous to reach the site of the crash
"Mr Poroshenko said he will do everything possible to make access possible."
On Monday, the chief of the Dutch police said that chances of recovering all the remaining bodies and the victims' belongings were growing slimmer by the day.
So far, 227 coffins have been tranferred to the Netherlands, but no one knows how many bodies remain on the 35 square kilometer site.
