Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseny Yatsenyiuk says 272 bodies of the downed Malaysian airplane have been recovered.
He is offering to allow the Netherlands control of the investigation into the crash, which left 298 people dead.
"I underline once again that we are ready to pass the guidance and coordination of this investigation to the Netherlands as the country that suffered the most, with the involvement of the whole international community."
His comment comes after an international investigation team arrived in Kiev earlier today.
Meanwhile the OSCE Special Monitoring Mission to Ukraine has inspected the crash site.
Michael Bociurkiw is the Spokesperson for the organization.
"We did have a look inside the (train) wagons. We are going to report that it was impossible to do an accurate (body) count due to circumstances and we mentioned the tagging, there seemed to be a tagging system. We received indications from the people that were there that those wagons will stay put until international representatives come there and then a decision will be taken and I think that's as far as we can go in terms of that answer."
For more on this, I spoke earlier with Vasyl Myroshnychenko, a Kiev based journalist.

As the international investigators have not entered the crash site, fightings between the government forces and the rebels in the region of Donesk have break out today.
Meanwhile Russian President Vladimir Putin has offered his call for not using the crash as a political call, and pledged to help bring Ukrainian conflict to an end.
"For its part, Russia will do everything that we can so that the conflict in eastern Ukraine moves from today's military phase to a discussion phase at the negotiating table, (by) exclusively peaceful and diplomatic means."
For more on the Russian site, CRI's Xu Qinduo earlier spoke with Konstantin Shirpin, A Beijing-based Russian journalist.
